Welcome back Bigwuz! Long time no "What are we drinking tonight?"*

If the gentleman's preferred XD100 is no longer available/convenient then you need to tweak the engine's ECU to run XD50 (aka TCW-3) - essentially it just doses more. Pikey will be able to advise re cables and software. I sold mine back in the day or I'd spot you a set. Yeah, tits up but apparently still supplying parts and oils.

How's yerself anyhoo?

Evening Squire .. still kicking , but not complaining as no one listens anyway .. Dont fancy any of that ECU mumbo jumbo .. had it mind it was a XD50 ? could be wrong but I did a quick google before asking the question and somone on here before said you need to do an ECU mod for XD100 ? .. so I thought I'd ask the peeps ... I can picture the old bottle in my head I think.. but dont want to go putting in the wrong stuff.. edit .. the boats 250 miles away so I cant check it right now


Further edit : I think its 100 although the bottles look different now. It runs on what it came with from the shop.. as I remember you had to have a mod for the cheaper oil I think as you say

IIRC then an engine set for 50 will run fine on 100, but not the reverse. The ECU tweak is very simple. For your mileage I'd just run the xd100....

Hello sailor! If you've got 7 year old oil and it hasn't settled out I reckon you should just use it.

The correct oil in the overpriced BRP bottle should still be available until sale of petrol runs out
