Thread: is this the correct engine oil for a 3 litre D4 SDV6

Castrol Magnatec Professional A5 5W30 is the current version of the LR recommended oil for the 2.7L, 3.0L, 3.6L and 4.4L diesel engines that are not fitted with a DPF. I used it in my 3.0 D4 and now use it in my 4.4 TDV8 L322.

Perhaps Castrol has very recently renamed it to Edge but I bought a 20L drum of Magnatec Prof A5 a day or 2 ago.

It appears that Castrol market both Edge and Magnatec in the A5 5W30. Both meet the Ford spec for these engines.

I’ve not seen an Edge that meets the spec. The Magnatec Professional however does. I’d be interested to see a link the the retail “edge” product that claims to meet the spec.

Does your D4 have a DPF?

Have a look for yourself, do not rely on anyone else saying yes or no. Castrol technical insist that all Australian diesel D4s have a DPF as that is what their computer say, this is incorrect.

Check the exhaust as it leaves the engine bay under the front passenger area.

Here are the required specs for MY13 onwards TDV6/SDV6 (And V8 petrol) engines.

Is this oil suitable for a MY10 D4 HSE 3.0 TDV6??
I dont believe i have a DPF
Would there be any issues for running an oil which is for DPF in a none DPF vehicle???

cheers

No defiantly doesn’t have the dpf.

I’m definitely defiant as well, according to my wife.
