oil for trident 2lt diesel engine.

Hi all, been a while since i last asked a question, but its me again

I bought some oil from kevin coopers. i think its time to top up, but i've noticed he sold me Syner g Comma fully synthetic 5w-40 for petrol engines. I have another for my car which is Helix ultra xtra 5w-30 for diesel. What do i do here, go get another or what? tee hee, silly me, i have no ideas about these matters.

many thanks, and happy hols to those of you doing that right now or in near future.

For the Trident and I'm assuming its age is between 2003 and 2010, it appears you were sold the correct oil but check here ...

to help you with your car you need to give more info. The same Comma chart will help but will give their recommended oil, so you can check your car on this Shell (Helix is Shell's oil) website..

hi there,

1ts 1998. is that any help cos i'm worried about petrol oil going into diesel engine.

many thanks

I should have read your heading first. As you said it was 2.0 litre I assumed it was petrol because I can't find any reference to a 2.0 litre diesel of the age of yours. 1.9 yes, but not 2 litre. If if is 1.9 then according to the Comma website you need Syner D 5/40 not Syner g as you have been sold. Can you not return it (assuming it is unopened) ?

hi,

thanks for responding, actually, female that i am, i thought 2lt was 1.9 lol. its a 1.9. i phoned kevin coopers and they said the syner g is alright to use in diesel engine, it just doesn't say diesel. however, apparently it conforms to what the engine uses. so i will use it and hope for the best.

many thanks. i just didn't want to ruine the engine! you know, as ladies might!
