The A5. Australian Defenders don't have a DPF.

You'll need to track down a Castrol distributor to source it as its a "Trade oil" not a retail oil.

DPF? No, we only have a catalytic converter.

A DPF has pressure differential sensors on it. Australian models dont have these.

We had a rep from one of the major Truck Companies up here, fine tuning a truck we rolled, one of the Computers was a bit confused, after all the repairs.

Anyhow he was saying the latest Euro standards for diesel trucks mean DPF, Cat, Ad Blue and EGR, happy days.

Previously he worked at BMW in their M works and was saying the V10 used 10W60 at 50 USD a liter, and quite a lot of it , so we are doing ok.

They both appear to be bloody good oils, and i think the Magnatec was previously the official puma oil. What the difference is between the two i really don't know.

For the MY15 Puma (2.2Ltr). Castrol recommended the following oil. I rang my dealer and they couldn't tell me what the oil specs were. (And didn't even ring me back, like they said they would, once they had the info.). I got the 20Litre drum from Castrol via Repco. ($380.00 inc delivery, Approx. Can't find the receipt at this moment.) One hell of an expensive oil. (I needed a 500mil top up, as my dip stick was showing that the oil level was VERY low. But found that it only needed 500 Mil to bring the level back to where is was the day I first checked the level (Also forgot to mention that my Defender has done 14500K's so far. Almost due for first service.) See photo attached.. (It even states that it's recommended by JLR)
