Thread: DIY oil change on a PUMA - Don't use just any old oil

FYI - changed all oils on my MY11 Defender 90 2.4 TDCi last week.

Note - 86000km's (assume an 'easy' life) with no modifications.

Oils used
************************************************** *************************
- Engine 2.4TDCi - Valvoline Synpower FE Engine Oil - 5W-30

Plus Nulon G70 Gearbox & Differential Treatment (quantity as per packaging for MT82 & LT230Q, leftovers shared between diffs)

Pumped in using one of these - ToolPro Utility Oil Pump

Only had the car from 85000km's so not much point comparing before and after.

Hope that helps someone!

Btw: I use the diff oil container to directly move the oil from the container to the diff and auto fluid on D2 in a similar fashion. How?
I have a cap with a tyre valve stem (no valve) and the transfer hose threaded through it. Pressurise the container with air from a 12v air compressor - air in, oil out. Air off - oil stops flowing. Air leaks around stem and hose allow excess pressure to bleed out. No decanting, no oil spills, no additional container to clean (just the hose). Simplez.
