Thread: Best Engine Oil For Puma

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

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.
On another note, I find that the 2008 Puma does need topping up with engine oil so I check it regularly. I'd say since the last service 12 months ago I've topped it up by over half a litre of engine oil. 92,200kms on the clock. Don't know if that is typical of the breed or not.

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
[ame="http://www.tds.bp.com.au/pdf/10704_Edge%20Professional%20C1%205W-30%20.pdf"]http://www.tds.bp.com.au/pdf/10704_Edge%20Professional%20C1%205W-30%20.pdf[/ame]
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-934_(en-G_TDS.pdf"]http://triumf.md/js/tiny_mce/plugins/addfile/files/Shell/TDS2/Helix/Helix_Ultra_Professional_AF-L_5W-30_(C1_M2C-934_(en-G_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.
