Thread: Which oil for an SDV6 D4 under warranty?

Don't overfill the oil! The level sensor is very slow to show a topped-up level so be sure to wait plenty of time if you don't measure the oil (5.9L IIRC)

Below is LR's oil change procedure.

If not listed by tommorow I will grab my handbook and check.Pretty sure both were listed as the same.

Castrol Australia do not provide a crankcase oil on the online selector, just a number to call for a technician!

Penrite do list one though, Enviro C4+ 5w-30.

Thanks

I hope you know how to do the oil filter - put it in the wrong way and a dead engine is a possible outcome.

I work on the principle of read the instructions, read them again, take it apart, look at the parts, read the instructions a third time, put it back together, check the instructions again, pray, start car, lol

The 3.0 oil filter housings and filters were changed to prevent the earlier fitting disasters - no spouts now.

Andrew,

You will need to determine if your vehicle has a DPF or not

The specs are
WSS-M2C913-B/C for non DPF

WSS-M2C934-B forn DPF


For my non DPF TDVV6 I use
Total Quartz 900 Future NFC 5W30

You can get 5 litre packs quite cheap from Golden west Lubricant in Maddington

Castrol do make a oil for a sdv6 is 400 bucks for a 20 l drum. I bought one before i realised that my car had come with purchased services. It's called Castrol c1 i believe and will do those crazy 24k services the rep told me that the dealers do not use it. Most doing 12k servicing use a synthetic turbo based oil. I spoke to land rover mechanic at Mackay dealership he confirmed it.
