Hi Folks
Am after some advice on oil. Am planning on taking my 2007 freelander 2 to the Apls on a boarding holiday.
My question is should I use the 0W30 oil or will 5W30 be fine? Question more about the lower temperature in the Alps.

Have been to Alps and Pyrenees many times and never changed the oil. Did 365,000 miles in a range rover over 11 years with no issues.

Was that during the winter?

Several times during February but mostly at Easter and summer. However there was usually snow on ground during easter.

5w will be fine IMHO - good down to -30 degC if I recall correctly 2014 Freelander 2 TD4 Manual Dynamic
1956/7 88" Series One Land Rover
1956/7 88" Series One Land Rover - undergoing restoration

As above, 5w30 is fine down to -30°C. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The family car.
2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. Gone.
2006 Tonga Green i6 HSE. Gone.
Audi A5 convertible, my daily driver.
1972 Hillman Avenger GT, the project.
