I recon a less than a litre will top the car from minimum it will be only about £10 Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I'd be a bit careful about topping up with different oils. Albeit, so long as it's the same viscosity, it shouldn't be a major issue. Go to your local dealer and they normally top it up for free. Otherwise my dealer does 5 litres of Unipart 5w 30 for £13.00!! That's what they use in the service.  Gone - TD4 XS Auto, Sumatra Black, Mud flaps and side strips, clear indicators, private plate, privacy glass

5W-30 is what it needs so that bit is OK but does it say on the bottle meets specification M2C913-B. If it doesn't don't do it.

I guess you were just kidding us , but if you were serious and cant afford a litre of the right stuff, you really should consider selling your Freely and buying somthing cheaper that you can afford to keep on the road . 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.
Stornoway Grey with Ebony Black Pleather, Clear Indicators, Body Side Mouldings etc.

Absolutely AndyC

£10-£20 = good value v's a new engine - buy the right stuff mate

We had this debate four years ago on Disco3 when the TDV6 had a drinking problem and used several litres when new. Just remember it's a Ford engine and you can get 4.5 litres from a Ford Dealer for fraction of what a Land Rover/Jaguar dealer will charge  A Land Rover owner since 1988

From a 1974 series III to a 12MY XS FL2 with help of a 1995 D1, 1996 D1, 2005 D3, 2007 D3 and a 2009 FL2.

cant afford to at the mo for the reason i was made redundant and i have a new born baby and a toddler i can afford to keep my freelander otherwise i wouldnt have brought it just wanted something to keep it going smoothly until i get my service sorted in a month

I have just less than a litre (about 600ml) of the correct oil in my garage when I had to top up my old car a little just before a service
