Hi,

The nice people who i bought my rover 45 off didn't supply me with an owners handbook and i'm a little confused as to which grade of engine oil i should be using.

All help appreciated.

Cheers

Dave

No problem.

Going to do the change yourself?

The engine holds 4.5 litres exactly with a filter change. I'd suggest only using a genuine filter and replacing the sump plug washer at the same time.

After that read I'm never using filters from a factors now. Honda charged me £10 plus a sump plug washer(evil aluminium things) for nowt thrown in. Cannot moan at that as halfords one was £6.99 with no washer.

Plus I wondered why the frauds filter was a pig to fit... its wider than the oem so it gets in the way of the alternator more easily hence my issues. A big up as the filter is hidden on the D series. K's are alot nicer job-buy quality, seems to save pennies in the long run
