Don't know if anyone else has tried this engine oil from Smith and Allen of Darlington. I used another variant for our diesel Clio and it appears to be very good quality.

As you are purchasing direct from the manufacturer, the prices are very good. They appear to do blends for almost all manufacturers, including motorcycles.
The one I have just used, meets or exceeds the requirements for the Freelander 2. Take a look at their website or eBay shop.  Now at the point when I learn something new something old is lost out the other side !
Now retired so it doesn't matter anymore.
Freelander now gone.

I get all my oils from Smith & Allan  2014 Freelander 2 TD4 Manual Dynamic
1956/7 88" Series One Land Rover
1956/7 88" Series One Land Rover - undergoing restoration

Ditto

S&A was established in 1925.

I use Smith & Allan Momentum C1 F 5W-30 - Fully Synthetic Engine Oil as my FL2 requires C1, WSS-M2C934-B SAE 5W-30

As well as engine and gearbox oils they do antifreeze and PAS fluid too. They didnt do haldex oil the last time I checked. Jules

Well I wish I knew that earlier

Forgot to mention for anyone who doesn't know them, free delivery, usually within two days  Now at the point when I learn something new something old is lost out the other side !

Used their C1 version last oil change with no problems.

I am in the process of moving over to S+A from Ravenol can't afford the Ravenol prices anymore.

, free delivery,

Hi,

used them a few times now (there has been a few posts about them) but never seen FREE delivery on their website
how did you get that
last time I looked it was ISTR £6.95 so bought it from Them via ebay and paid £1 more but it did include delivery

I also get my motorbike fork oil and engine oil from them

 .
my first ever FL2 and I did keep it longer than most other cars!
But its now gone way up Norf

Purchased mine from their eBay shop. At the time I didn't know anything about them or their website. I thought that was a very good price compared to the Mobile 3000 I usually use.  Now at the point when I learn something new something old is lost out the other side !

They also have a technical dept from where you can get answers about oil specs and compatibility

They also do their own chainsaw chain oil and a WD40 look-alike. Jules

Previously used them for fluids for the defender. Always good quality.
Never had free delivery though

As I said, from their eBay shop £23.99 for 5ltr with free fast delivery.  Now at the point when I learn something new something old is lost out the other side !

That's interesting about the chainsaw oil. I assume it has never done any harm using the old engine oil. Now at the point when I learn something new something old is lost out the other side !

No never I have been cutting wood up for ten + years for my stove always used old engine oil and gear oil never seems to do any harm to the saw and when chainsaw oil is £10 + a litre even if it did still cheaper in the long run  2013 FL2 XS.

I don't do much with a chainsaw but I know what I will be using to lubricate the chain from now on.  Now at the point when I learn something new something old is lost out the other side !

Apparently Smith and Allen do OAT long life coolant as well.
Just ordered some of that.  Now at the point when I learn something new something old is lost out the other side !
