    Puma 2.2 Engine oil, where it at?

    Merry Christmas Brains Trust,

    I have been reading some threads on what type of oil is suitable for the 2.2 but cant find anything conclusive on where and what type of oil can be readily found at the regular outlets ie Repco, Autobahn and Supercheap.

    Getting my new 90 soon and just want to be able to source something within spec for any changes I may want to do in between my 20,000km oil changes. I usually go by how it looks in terms of whether its still translucent before it becomes completely soot laden. Really depends on how hard it has been working in between that service period. I will be disconnecting the EGR to avert any premature black stuff aswell.

    Is there anything you guys have been sourcing with relative ease? Furthermore, is the 'Australian' model fitted the DPF?

    Thanks in advance.

    Penrite do the full range of required specification oil/s.
    REPCO and Supercheap have ample supplies.
    I run the 5W40 HPR Diesel in mine for the last 100,000 km with no issues or usage.
    The HPR diesel is OK as the Pumas in OZ don't have a DPF.

    Thanks, not having the DPF will make it easier/cheaper. Cheers!

    I have switched to Penrite HPR5 full synthetic. This has the requisite specs
    (WSS-M2C913-B or C) for the 2.2 non DPF

    Penrite HPR diesel is semi-synthetic and doesn't have the magic spec numbers

    I got free servicing for 3 yrs, pretty sure they push it out to 20k for engine oil on plan. Every 2 yrs for driveline lubes with me thanks, unless dipped in water then who knows!

    Synpower FE 5w-30 can also be used(Valvoline)

    Available everywhere in 5L.

    I would find out what the stealers use and then if available use the same.Better not to mix oils if you don't have to,and helps if any warranty issues.

    Yeah it might be overkill - but I do 10k oil changes.

    With your humidity, so would I.

    You'll probably find 20,000km is 'normal' use in a temperate climate. (read Europe)
    High humidity, dust, heat, stop/start city driving, off road use, towing, all bets are off and the oil change interval comes back.
