Reply With QuoteFor vehicles with DPF that oil should be fine if rated Ford WSS-M2C-934B.If for a Discovery without DPF then Ford WSS-M2C-913-C is suitable ie Castrol Edge 5W30 A3B4 would fill the bill.

SubscriberHi Guys,
Firstly in advance I apologize if I am asking a repeated question...
Just clocked up 10k with the new motor and full service done. All has been great with everything working well,. Heading off North again soon to beat the winter chills. When the engine oil was changed I noticed they use "Castrol Professional" 5w 30 full synthetic which is a proprietary formulae from Castrol to Landrover Specs, and not available over the counter.(Castrol is owned by BP). As I always do when away towing caravan I always change Engine Oil and filter at 5000k. Gets rid of the soot and keeps wear to a minimum. The LR spec calls for 5W30 WSS-M2C913-B and I am wondering how close to original specs that Castrol Edge 5W30 full synthetic for DPF is? (see pic & PDF) My new engine still subject to warranty and there are not many Landrover Dealers in the outback up North. cheers

Compare your spec with the Diesel Territory,if they match availability should be good,plenty of Ford dealers in the bush still.

SubscriberI found Shell Helix Ultra Professional AF to be readily available.
It is compliant with WSS-M2C913-C and -D.
From what I've read here the -C and -D specs are just upgraded versions and backwards compatible with the -B spec.
Also, this thread provides further details and options:

They are the 2.7.As long as yours is non DPF it should be the same.Check as there are 2 different specs of oil for the DPF/non DPF motors.Thanks Andy, I didn't think of the cousin Ford Territory

The Castrol magnatec professional A5 for Discovery 3 is available from Repco in a 20ltr drum for $175 you may have to get them to order it in but only takes a day. Lot cheaper than the Castrol 5w 30 FST in a 5 litre tub.

SubscriberJust contacted the Local Repco @ Penrith regarding availability of 20ltr drum and told professional not sold to the public, trade workshops only. Rang Castrol and got part number (3383405) of oil product from their online oil selector for the Disco3 and went back to Repco and they wanted $301.00 for it.....They have it sewn up,,,,,however rang around a few Truck Spares and found some at Unanderra for $171 so off for a picnic drive down the Coast.

Its actually one of the reasons why I stopped using Castrol (BP), as they didnt really seem to bothered if they sold you oil or not. I used to have to order in Castrol Professional from the local BP distributor.
Hence my move to Penrite, IMHO Penrite is not only a better product but their sales and support is second to none.
Basically the specs are....
Ford spec Land Rover use for NON DPF equipped is M2C-913B
Ford spec Land Rover use for DPF equipped is M2C-934B
Keep in my though, lets be realistic, there really is no way I can say (or anyone can) that one brand is better than another. So look at available product information and specs.
In saying that though, the two main oils I use in customers vehicles, both new in warranty and out (DPF, non DPF), all seem to run better long term with what I'm using/doing.
