Reply With QuoteI have been using the castrol recommended oil for my D3 - Castrol MAGNATEC 5W-30 A5 for 100,000 Km with no Ill effects. Available in 20 litre drums from your friendly Castrol distributor. From memory around the $200 mark for 20 litres.

SubscriberA Big Ask...Apart from using OEM Engine Oil from Landrover Spare parts for a D3 2.7 V6 System....what local lube oil specification equivalent match is being successfully used in Australia for off the shelf oil purchase. I repeat and emphasize successfully as not to compromise the longevity of the engine and not diminish any performance of any components

I usually get it on sale from SCA, last time I think it was about $75 for 10 litres.

As Above ...........
SCA is a convenient supplier.
The spec calls for B5 additives ( as I recall)

Note that the above oil is A5/B5, not just A5.

Also note the link above from Will is the UK version of Magnetec - which is fully synthetic. Unlike the Australian version of Magnetec, which is not - and doesn't meet requirements!
The Australian equivalent of the required oil is "CASTROL MAGNATEC 5W-30 A5" - which I think you can only get from a Castol dealer - not SCA. Unless they don't list it on their online shop. Does anyone know for sure if SCA sell "CASTROL MAGNATEC 5W-30 A5" in their stores?

hi Guys,
its a 'special order request' via the following retailers:-
SuperCheap Auto, Bursons, Repco, Autobarn, Auto 1, Auto Pro, Sprint Auto Parts.
be careful, min order is 20 litres and its not a cheap oil.
Good Luck! (lucky for me i took the 5 year warranty and Service option)

I'm using Castrol Edge which does comply, I remember that the Magnatec didn't ....... but we're remembering back a ways.
The spec called for 5W30 & B5 ( &A5)
