    The correct answer will depend on the year model of your D3, and whether you have a diesel particulate filter (DPF) or not. What have you got?

    I have a 2006 TDV6 HSE. I am not exactly sure on the type of filter but if you click on the link below, that is the new one I have just purchased.

    If it is an early 2006 (built before August), then you should be ok with any of these:
    • Castrol Edge 5W30
    • Caltex Havoline 5W30
    • Shell Helix Ultra 5W40


    I'm pretty sure the 2006 never had DPFs (which are a part of the exhaust system and get screwed if you use the wrong oil).

    As LR recommend Castrol 5W30, I would suggest Castrol Edge 5W30 would be best for your situation.

    Cheers,
    Rob

    LR specifically states there is to be no deviation from 5w30 so if you don't have a DPF any fully synthetic 5w30 will work well.

    My 8a vin (2008MY) doesn't have a DPF and I've been using Penrite Enviro+ 5w30, changed at 10K intervals.

    This is the only Penrite oil that matches the Land Rover/Ford oil specification recommended for the 2.7L TDV6 and 3.0L TDV6

    PENRITE ENVIRO+ C4

    Enviro Plus C-4 is an SAE 5W-30, full synthetic, low-ash oil designed for use where ACEA C4 is specified in the owner's handbook. Examples include 2011 Nissan Pathfinder and Navara 3.0 turbo diesel and many Renault and Samsung vehicles that require the Renault RN 0720 specification. May be used where ACEA C1 is required. Key specifications ACEA C4, Renault RN 0720, Ford M2C-934B (level)

    MC2 934B is the Land Rover specification in your handbook.
