Thread: Oil volume

As for oil I think the by pass centrifudge does a great job and would like on on the 300 Tdi but the cost makes oil changes appear cheap.

Snorkel fitted (dust limiting Mantec affair) and I assume the Puma has a bypass centrifuge installed?

I’m not yet doing the kilometres to really be concerned about overly frequent servicing, but I’ve got a few trips planned for next year and don’t suppose a precautionary out of sequence service before or after a trip will do any harm.

Not that I'm aware, only a replaceable cartridge full flow filter ?

The TD5 was special, the centrifuge is a brilliant bit of gear, that's why the 'normal' service interval was 20,000km.
