My 54 TD5 Disco is ready for servicing,I have aquired 8 litres of
Castrol SLX 5w-30 fully synthetic oil,the dilemma is that the
spec is ACEA A3/B3 instead of the recomended A1/B1/B2 does
anyone know if it matters as it as come free gratis.


Thanks Dick.

It won't matter one jot !!!

The latest reccomended oil is actually B5 !!! But these are just degrees of good.

Go ahead and use it, your engine will thank you
