35d oil

I'm looking at an oil change soon as I've just covered 1400mls this week.
I can only find Castrol LL04 in the manual, does anyone know which grade of oil, and part number for the oil filter?
Any other tips would be much appreciated also.
Thanks in advance

Thanks Jan, but having read that thread numerous times, I still can't see anywhere where it mentions the grade of oil that is recommended.

I just called my local garage and they tell me 5W30 oil.
For the people who changed, what did you guys use, including filter etc?

Thanks

In Switzerland we use the Castrol Long Life 0w30 all year round. Had it In my 335d for 65,000 km and it burned about a 1/5th litre every 15,000 km - really good for a diesel.
