If you are stuck for the 913C engine oil, you can get it much more cheaper at your local Ford dealership.
It is the Motorcraft-branded oil, supplied by Castrol.
Here in South Africa, it costs around R250 per 5L container. LR charges R92 per litre.

I recently spoke with Castrol and they confirmed that Castrol Edge Professional C1 5W-30 was the appropriate oil to use. However, when I was at the dealer today getting the intake grill replaced the service manager said they used (and had permission from LR Australia) to use a Shell Helix 5w30 product.
The Castrol Edge professional is impossible to find and I've been quoted over $500 for a 20L drum so I was reluctant and thought I might just get some from the dealer - but obviously can't/shouldn't given they use Shell oil...
So now I'm thinking I should just use the Shell Helix product. If I go to the shell product matching thingy on their website they don't even recommend a particular engine oil saying only 'refer to dealer'. The Shell Helix ultra extra is listed as exceeding ACEA C3; BMW LL-04; MB approval 229.51; VW 504 00/507 00; Porsche C30.
It shouldn't really be this hard to get some oil to top up your car....
any thoughts out there?

I would not diverge from the 913A/B/C Ford spec.
As I said, go to your local Ford dealer, they will have the correct oil spec, since all Duratorq engines use the same oil.

just checked my service log, ULR malvern put Castrol Magnatec 5w40 SP in my 2.4 puma for 60k,70k and 80k services, it's for WSS-M2C-913A/B.
Castrol recommended Edge Professional C1 5w/30, which is for WSS-M2C-934-B.
Which one to go for 90k service?

The WSS-M2C-934-B. spec is for vehicles with DPF. Yours most likely will not.
Master
Mine doesn't have DPF, can I think of edge professional 5w30 as an overkill for my 2.4 puma?

A photograph of the actual tag on the actual 20 liter drum of oil specied for 2.4 Pumas (I can't comment on 2.2's).
Many other products is or may be suitable, but this is the only one specified by the boys who work from Lode Lane, Solihul.
I managed to get myself a drum through our local bulk fuel distributor.
Cheers,
Lou
