As per above, for DPF models which the selector says is 2013-14 you will need Castrol Edge Professional C1 5W-30. You can buy it, but minimum size is a 20L drum.

Thanks Silkhammer, that's the exact precise info I was looking for.

From further research, any oil used must meet spec WSS-M2C934/B or ACEA:C2.

No problems, have just gone through the same process myself!

Based on my experience, try to find a Castrol "distributor" not just a "stockist". $ might be better.

And available overseas only in 1l and 5l, but I assume shipping is the drama.

Anyone checked out Ford dealers for branded, smaller quantities of the same spec stuff?

If you look on the Valvoline net lube site you will see the D4 MY2014 uses Synpower C1 5w/30 full synthetic.

Same oil as the Puma 2.4.completely different to the D4 2.7 which uses Synpower FE,as do most late model ford engines,including the 2.2l Puma,(but not the 3l D4).

I picked up 20l(smallest size available) of Synpower C1 5w/30 for the Puma for $220 on our account at autobarn,Supercheap wanted $325.

MR auto use Valvoline oils in all the LR's they service.

But i recon for top ups you are better using the same oil that is in the vehicle,mixing oils should be avoided if possible.

In 15yrs of owning LR's,i have never had to top one up.
