in answer to your query about engine oil. the cdt takes 6.75 litre of oil,including filter.
this must be to sae 10w-40 or 15w-40, to specification,acea 3 and b3.
we use 10w-40.
and yes, it is easy to change the oil. the only thing you need which may be different to you, is a socket of 36 mm.
best of luck, and let us know how you get on.

The important thing is the ACEA A3 and B3 specs. Fully synthetic or semi-synthetic is your choice. I think most people use semi-synthetic.

And cover the alternator when changing the filter.
