Usually good at TLAs, but PCJ has me stumped ....crankshaft journal????

Piston cooling jets ?

Aye that is correct.

Land Rover Service Bulletin SSM38792, Date Uploaded: 21 Jul 2008 Models: LD - Defender Title: 2.4 Puma Engine Knock Noise. Last Modified: 21-JUL-2008 09:44 Category: Engine Symptom: 497000 Engine Noise Content Issue: Heavy audible knocking heard on start up. Cause: On start up oil pressures can cause the piston cooling jets, (PCJ), to latch into a zero flow condition. Due to hysteresis effect in design the jets do not unlatch until the engine is warm and the oil pressures lower again. During this time with no pressurized oil jet flow to the lower pistons / cylinder bores, overheat and scuff conditions / damage can occur. Action: Replace the engine assy but ensure only engines post serial # ELD00080707063602 are used. This condition will not occur on vehicles post assured Vin# 9A767162. Engines post the info above are fitted with modified PCJ internal springs and this issue is now closed

Ive been using Total Quartz 9000 NFC A 5W-30 because it is easy to buy in small quantity and its a fraction the cost of Castrol.

Use a genuine LR filter and replace the sump plug. The ford filters with the chevron pattern look better as they have a larger surface area and will be using them now that warranty has expired

The 2.2 was delivered with the Ford type "chevron pattern" oil filter fitted. I have been using the genuine LR straight fluted filters because I was not able to source them up until recently
The filter on the left is a Cooper WC078 and looks like the Ford original. Because of its greater surface area and strength, I believe this is the better choice given all the other spec are equal
