Still unsure whether I should have gone for full synth, some internet write ups on people who have always used it in a D24Tic and swear by it but lots of conflicting stuff too. Dunno if you've read all the right ups on Magnatec but it is apparently technically not really a semi-synth, it's a 'synthectically' produced oil, a rather overpriced oil according to a lot of people, lots of stuff about this if you google it. Good deal though, thanks

I have never flushed, always used Shell Helix semi synthetic in my 850 tdi and now in my D5. Just the 850 uses 10/40.
