Right, I suppose I ought to have checked my oil before getting to 2500 miles but never got round to it. I need to top up the oil in my pd130 (its just on the minimum mark at the moment). Whats the best stuff to put in it?

Coolant could do with topping up a bit too, I take it I can just use plain water top it up from the min mark to the max mark (shouldnt dilute it significantly)

tap water should be fine for the coolant.

Check your manual for suitable oil (do a search in this forum perhaps) ~ PD engines notoriously critical of oil.... :(

PD Diesel oil is a special oil available from the dealers at about £6.00 a litre.

DON'T USE ANYTHING ELSE.
