If Shell Rimula (which autocorrect changed to ‘she’ll stimulate’ rather hilariously!) isn’t mentioned in this thread then I’ll be marginally surprised…

We got oil for our 2014 DAF a month or so back when we changed to sump (corroded) and there was conflicting info from the suppliers, we ended up getting EMPROTEC EURO 10W40 LA.
Basically heavy diesel engine oil.

Farm machinery dealers can be a good bet for premium oil at affordable prices. Self propelled forage harvesters run lorry engines and farming types don't pay premium prices

No idea what your dealers are like over there, but I get my engine oil from the local main dealer, the best price around.
