3.0L - With DPF - Castrol Edge Professional C1 5W-30 part#3375617 -20l drum

Thanks Tombie, Obvious question how do I tell if my 2012 D4 3.0L has a DPF?

Topix or Ask dealer and quote VIN

Cannot see it listed on Topix, closest thing is EURO STAGE 4 EMISSIONS.

I think I may not have one beinga late 2012 car? Sept build, nov delivery.

LR also list the Ford spec WSS-M2C-913B as suitable for non-DPF 3.0. The Magnatec A5 is the improved WSS-M2C-913C spec that Ford recommend be used where WSS-M2C-913B was previously recommended.

Edit: The Castrol technical data sheet shows Magnatec A5 as A5/B5 (A is for petrol engines and B is for diesel engines) and A5/B5 supercedes A1/B1 and LR state the oil must be B1 spec. Note that B2, B3 and B4 are not necessarily improvements on B1, rather they are a different set of attributes.

Thanks Graeme, I think I'm even more confused.:angel: Confusing part is all the 5W 30 oils are listed as petrol and do not reference diesels and all diesel oils are listed as 5W 40.

So the oil i need is Castrol magnatec 5W 30 A5/B5 which the spec is WSS-M2C-913B.

Question is where can i buy it as the standard retail guys do not stock?.........

Thanks

You need a BP distributor.

List price: $245.84 (inc GST)

Here's the Magnatec A5 5W30 technical data sheet, noting that it both refers to diesel engines and the B5 spec which is a diesel spec. Its also -913C, superceding -913B.Attachment 70906

AFAIK, all D4 in Australia do not have DPF.

It's the letters in your VIN that tells you if you have a DPF and even the MY13 doesn't.
