Thread: Which oil for an SDV6 D4 under warranty?

Good Question.
I have the balance of a 20lt drum of synthetic oil in the shed that I run in my TD5s,its not compliant.Also have a couple of litres of Castrol Edge Synthetic that I used to run in the TD5s,it also isnt compliant.Living in a country town I need to aquire some on my next city trip for any top-ups needed.
How are you going to drain the oil??? to they have a sump plug anymore??? Mine has an oil suction point.

There is a sump plug if you look hard enough but you will have to remove some under body protection first to see it.

Must take your word for it.
When we did the delivery I was shown the oil extraction point,no sump plug was mentioned.

What does the manual say? Recommend you do not, under any circumstances, use anything other than that mandated by LR or the warranty will be kaput ASAP.

As I'm his LR advisor :-o I want to make sure the oil is satisfactory from a warranty point of view, as the vehicle has balance of new car warranty, and I don't want to put a "non-approved" or below LR spec oil in it. It'll be a full drain. Price is not as important as warranty protection.

Please advise an oil for it.

Thanks

This may be of help.

The manual says my 2 types of oil are not compatable,will take the handbook into Repsupacrud etc and get a litre to match.

Castrol Magnatec Professional A5 5w - 30 Product No. 3369740 in a 20 litre drum. Covs have it listed, but may have to buy it in for you. Not cheap, but it is the recommended oil for the 2.7. It is the oil the LR dealers use. you would have to check that it is the Ok for the 3.0 litre

I changed the oil in mine in the middle between its 26000km intervals and use the fully synthetic oil 5w30, you have to remove all the bash guards underneath and the sump plug is on the drivers side of the sump on the side not bottom. They do recommend putting a new sump plug each time i was told they are about $12 each and the oil filter is on the top of the engine in the V i think underneath the plastic cover.
