Comma is a very good make its made by Esso and I think they know a a little bit about oil and the manufacture and abstraction of it :) I am using valvoline which is another very good oil both these oils can be bought from Euro car parts branches at very good prices check them out for a diesel one :)they also sell oil filters as well and at £3.21p and a very good make I bought one of those as well :)

Just make sure whatever oil you use it is ok for diesel engines.

You can use diesel oil in a petrol engine but not vice versa, diesel engines are at much higher temperatures and pressures and petrol oils are not made to the same standard.

Selenia Turbodiesel would be ideal, but as PNL those oils along with shell helix are very good.
