I don't recall the oil used by dealer at my last service on my 2014 as being the signature green of the oil Tombie has identified. I'll need to check with my dealer.

As long as it meets the appropriate spec nominated by LR, you would be right
.Shell Helix Diesel Ultra AF-L 5W-30 Fully Synthetic Low SAPS Engine Oil (C1 equivalent)
Mobil Super 3000 Formula C1 5W-30
Castrol EDGE Professional C1 5W-30

5W/30 WSS-M2C934/B are the magic spec.

Those are the magic specs - for DPF equipped engines.

LR spec for my 2013 2.2l non-DPF: 5W/30 – WSS–M2C913–B or C.

(I thought the AU spec Defenders didn't have DPF?)

AU spec Defenders don't have a DPF.

That's why I got the WSS-M2C913-C oil.

I went to the dealers spare parts department to buy some oil. But because they did' know which oil was used in the Defenders. They just told me to contact Castrol, and wouldn't sell me anything else.

That's what I asked them as well. And just got a blank look. I also said that it would be a good idea for them to go get some oil..

Pretty sure my MY15 handbook nominated the *934* oil, but don't have it with me. Not saying it is necessary, just it was nominated. Anyone got an Oz MY15 handbook Handy?

My manual only states that the engine oil is SAE 5W-30, and that's all. Which was why I contacted Castrol directly. (This info is on page 115 of the Owner's Handbook.)
