    What I did note is that the following is recomended by brands online lube guides:
    Penrite ENVIRO+ C4 5W-30 (Full Synthetic) < ENVIRO+ C4 5W-30 (Full Synthetic) >
    Valvoline SynPower ENV C1 Synthetic Engine Oil 5W-30 < ENV C2 | Engine OIl | Full Synthetic | Valvoline | Valvoline.com.au >
    Shell Helix Ultra Professional AF 5W-30 < Shell Helix Ultra Professional AF 5W-30 | Shell Australia > - they're Premium recommendation.
    Shell Helix HX7 SN 10W-30 < Shell Helix HX7 SN 10W-30 | Shell Australia > - they're Standard recommendation.

    Castrol however just refers you to their Technical phone line, Nulon advises that engine oil product is not available and Mobil refers you to the vehicles dealer.

    At present I'm looking to go with the Penrite option as it's available off the shelf at some Repco stores and Super Cheap Auto < Penrite Enviro+ Engine Oil - 5W-30, 10 Litre, C4 - Supercheap Auto >. No special ordering required and price wise is comparative with what others have paid for Castro Professional oil per litre.
    That Valvoline oil is for vehicles with DPF,no DPF and Synpower FE 5w 30 is the correct spec,and also easier to get and available in 5 litre containers.

    I think one way to tell if you have a DPF is look on top of the exhaust manifold. There should be a sensor arrangement sticking out if you have a DPF.
    If not it will have a blanking bung

    Got a reference for that? There is no note or any other mention of it in the Valvoline Lube Guide.

    Click on valvoline link in your post,go to left column,click on synpower 5w 30 FE,and you will see it complies with ford specbWSS M2C 913 D,and it adds,compatible with A,B,C specs.
    As said suits non DPF.

    Oils suitable for vehicles fitted with DPF are generally more expensive and not as readily available,but will still do the job if used in a non DPF vehicle.

    SynPower FE 5W-30 is a premium full synthetic engine oil designed for use in modern Ford engines with the intent to reduce exhaust emissions and improve fuel efficiency calling for Ford WSS-M2C-913-D, C, B and A. Also suitable for other passenger cars where ACEA A5/B5 or API SL/CF is recommended.
    I wonder why Valvoline left this one out of their Lube Guide. AFAIK all Puma 2.4 are non-DPF.

    I wondered as well,and noticed some other lube guides do the same.

    Maybe they are covering their arses just in case one got through with a DPF.

    All a bit confusing

    Mines a January 2012 2.2ltr Puma, no DPF. Ricks 4WD @ Nerang (Gold Coast) seem to use Valvoline SynPower FE 5W-30 on mine. Lyntons LR @ Southport use the Castrol 5-30w Edge, though I haven't had the jatz crackers to use them since it came out of warranty. My blood pressure is high enough without looking at one of their invoices.

    Checked the STP Lube Guide yesterday and they just note "refer to dealer" on it.
