Righto - again great guys to deal with (must be something about oil suppliers) and the same Oil Roley18 quoted is NZD75.40 + 15% and $273 + 15% (5L and 20l respectively. Even with exchange rate your pricing is good. I am going down this track too and getting the 20L.
Whats the story with syn oil being better than min oil probly all a scam
Geez,how complicated can this be.Need an oil for the sons Puma,still completely confused:D:(
Maybe i do it the easy way,ring MR auto and see what they use:)
It will be a Valvoline product for sure....
I just did my first oil change with oil from Total Oil Solutions. Truck is running very nicely and they had everything I needed. I used:
QUARTZ 9000 FUTURE NFC 5W30 SYN
I know I said I would switch to Liqui-Moly, but ended up switching to Fuchs Titan SuperSyn F 5w30 (TITAN SUPERSYN F SAE 5W-30 | Fuchs Lubricants South Africa)

After the first oil change to the Fuchs, my indie recommended that I change the oil again after 2000km to flush out any remaining Castrol.
Engine is running very well :)
I'll be doing a service on mine tomorrow (weather permitting) and I'll also be using Total Quartz 9000 5W30. Have used it and Total transmission oils and found them very good.Quote:

G'day,
After much research and hunting around I've finally got a solid answer for the correct 2015 Defender engine oil.
Forums have been a minefield so I'm only posting info verbatim from Land Rover and Castrol.
According to the MY2012 Defender workshop manual (which serves up until 2016):
Engine - 2.2l Diesel
SAE 5W-30 engine oil (With DPF) -----> 5W/30 - WSS-M2C934-B
SAE 5W-30 engine oil (Without DPF) ----->5W/30 - WSS-M2C913-B or C
I found two oils meeting the WSS-M2C934-B spec:
Castrol Edge Professional C1 5W-30

and
Shell Helix Ultra Professional AF-L 5W-30
[ame="http://triumf.md/js/tiny_mce/plugins/addfile/files/Shell/TDS2/Helix/Helix_Ultra_Professional_AF-L_5W-30_(C1_M2C-934B)_(en-GB)_TDS.pdf"]http://triumf.md/js/tiny_mce/plugins/addfile/files/Shell/TDS2/Helix/Helix_Ultra_Professional_AF-L_5W-30_(C1_M2C-934B)_(en-GB)_TDS.pdf[/ame]
Neither oil is readily available in stores or online so I emailed Castrol and promptly received the following info:
Thank you for your email, the smallest size Edge Prof C1 5W 30 comes in is 20L.
If you are unable find a reseller who hold stock of this product they can place an order for you.
You can visit a your local BP service station and provide the Part number 3375617 and they will be able to arrange stock for you.
We can sell direct to customer as a cash sale but order need to in between 500$ - 2000$ and delivery address must be a business address.
I also emailed Shell but I'm yet to hear from them. I'll add their response once I hear from them but for now Castrol has me sorted.
I sure hope this saves a bunch of time for a few owners.
As far as I know you do not have a DPF and require the second type of engine oil (WSS-M2C913-B or C) which can be be bought from all your local shops I.e. Supercheap, Repco etc.. Most supercheap have a computer in the store for you to put your vehicle details in and it lists your oils from premium to cheap.
Valvoline Synpower FE is also the correct spec,and 5w/30,no DPF.
Available from Supercheap,autobarn,etc in 5litre containers.
