Oil volume

[portafilter]

Does anyone know how much oil I'm going to need for a oil and filter change on a puma.
I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Between 6L and 7L for a service fill. Also worth noting the dipstick shows 2L between empty and full.

Well on that note can there be any other oil to use

Also you can use your wheel spanner to undo the cover on the oil filter (or a 27mm socket)

Topex says 7 litres of 5w/30 semi synthetic.

Penrite HPR Diesel 5 meets

Ford M2C153-G/H - This one actually is a Fully Synthetic spec and the HPR Semi meets it!
M2C171-C
Ford M2C-913-B

One of those is for the TDV6 in the RR and Disco3/4.

So i gather it should be easily suitable for a 4 pot ford transit engine.

We have always used the same 5w/30 oil for all engines. I don't think you need to be too fussy over it. Just so long as it's good quality.

6.5 litres, we just use Either Helix 5w40, or Valvoline Synpower 5w40. Interesting Rick about the HPR5 Diesel, may look into that as it is cheaper than the full synthetics, can maybe use that in un chipped and quietly driven Td5's?

Obviously not had the joy to deal with the organisation known as Land Rover Australia...

Considering the harsh conditions (ambient temperatures dust and continued off road work rate) we need to change oil often and use what LRA specify. Should you suffer an engine failure of any description they will take oil samples and if your oil is a fraction out of specification they will not honour warranty repair...
