SubscriberSo I used the genuine transfer case oil at mental per litre, but with alternatives so hard to come by in Aus, I sucked it up. Same for brake fluid. The funky spec was too hard to sort here independently so paid for the genuine article. Gearbox I use a Motul ATF VI and engine Penrite C4. Diffs were Castrol spec aligned to factory, purchased commercially. Filters I use Mann.
I change the engine oil more regularly than specified. Gearbox oil I'm dropping 4L every year to freshen the 200k oil that's in there. If I drop 4L every year it will remain fresh'ish', is easy enough and not a high cost.

I thought all D4 3.0s had DPFs now. Please correct me if I'm wrong there and how do I check anyway?
Is it in the manual?

SubscriberNo, only some early D4s have dpf. This image will help (under vehicle, below passenger seat).

This should help.
The SA number is your VIN.
The DPF is item 4 in the picture. I couldn't "copy" the numbers down the side in the original.

I note in a early post re changing the oil they say "5.9ltrs max. of oil". I've just vacced mine out and there was 6ltrs came out! Firstly I pumped the pump and watched as it poured out nicely and when it stopped waited a few minutes in case oil was still draining down.... then out came approx. 200mil. extra making the total of 6.
When I'd checked the level on the computer before the change there was no sign of overfilling and showed level at about the halfway mark so I've assumed it was correct and put back 6ltrs. Have I done the right thing?

SupporterI also found vacuuming the oil out obtained 6litres compared to the 5.9 through the sump plug,both with new filter.Checked after 8000k and it has used 1 graduation on the oil level,500mls top up and it is back to max,OK.
Will change filter and oil at 10000k using Penrite 5-30w M2C913 BCD [non DPF]/ Mann Hummel filter.

For all that pull the sump plug to drain the oil, if you get a bit of ally angle (or any metal) about 75x75, you can sit it opposite the sump plug so that it catches the oil flow from the plug hole rather than the chassis rail and the resultant spreading of used oil everywhere. Just a tip.

Us that have graduated to more modern methods don't have to worry about oil on the floor or up our arms any longer...... but thnx. for the tip anyway.

Hey Alan,
I presume you don't use a plastic tube like a straw.
What brand sucker do you use and where did you get it.
Thanks
