I have a 2003 Defender (2.5L TDi), which recommends 5W-30, 40 or 50 oils.
Which one should I be using? They all seem to be the most expensive on the shelves.
Oil change interval is 5000km.
Thanks all

Looks like different service managers in different states recommend diferent oils for the same motor.
Barbagallo the main stealers in WA do my Defender Td5, and they recommend Castrol Magnatec which as far as I know is a semi synthetic.
Castrol themselves say that Magnatec is recommended by Land Rover as it has the correct start up specifications.
Whatever, I won't let
mine go 20,000 between filter and oil changes, 10,000 is quite long enough to my old fashioned thinking, centrifrugal spinners or not!
