Hi,
I have a 63 plate SD4 and need to top up the oil. But which one. Do I have a DPF, I assume so but I hve not found any M2C934-B oil anywhere locally.

Can anyone confirm that that is the correct oil any who sells it?
Thanks

Diesel vehicles 2.2L
(with DPF)
SAE 5W-30 engine oil meeting specification
WSS-M2C934-B. If unavailable 5W-30 engine
oils to ACEA C2 specification may be used.


Diesel vehicles 2.2L
(without DPF)
SAE 5W-30 engine oil meeting specification
WSS-M2C913- C or B. If unavailable 5W-30
engine oils to ACEA ACEA A5/B5 specification may be
used.

I had the same problem trying to purchase the correct one, In the end I have ordered some from Opie Oils a site sponsor, follow this link

Thanks for the link

All Freelanders in the UK from 2011 model year onwards are fitted with a DPF therefore you need 5W30 that meets
WSS-M2C934-B. Castrol Magnatec Professional is what LR recommend but it is usually only available from Dealers.

Hmmm - handbook for my 2011 SD4 quotes 5W-30 meeting 913B not 934B ?
Where is the 934B specified ? Wonder if I have an " old " version of the handbook - doesn't seem to be
any mention in it of DPF anywhere ? Freelander 2

I did an oil change after purchasing my FL and ended up going to a local motor factor for the right oil. Comma produce on with the right spec - but it wasn't on the shop floor (where there were about 6 Comma oils, all 5W/30) but out the back. The guy said that finding the right spec oils cause him a right headache as there are so many that are 5W/30, etc but are then manufacturer/car/engine specific.

I would get your dealer to check engine number/Model Year to confirm what you need then !

Just checked the Topix manuals for 2011 and 2012 model years.
2011 only quotes 913B which is for non-DPF vehicles while 2012 quotes for both 913B and 934B.

SD4 is definitely fitted with DPF and will therefore need oil which matches 934B specification.

Thanks guys. Bit of a pain since I just changed oil last week using
913B !!! - and still have another nearly full 5 Litres of it !!!
Guess should bite the bullet and change it again with 934B Freelander 2

Don't think 913 is C2 rated by the look of it?

No - 913 isn't C2 !
Just looked at the bottle and it's A5 / B5 - so another oil change very soon I guess to 934 ! Freelander 2

Sorry to jump on the back of this, but how do I tell if I have a DPF fitted? I just bought my first LR yesterday and want to do an oil and filter change so I know it has been done. I have a Freelander 2 XS TD4_e registered March 2010. I don't want to put the wrong oil in ...Thanks for any help.

Look at your VIN (the following borrowed from another thread)

Quote:

VIN Position 8 =

Upto 11MY:
B = Diesel non-DPF
C = Diesel with DPF

From 11MY
B = Diesel non-DPF (low power)
C = Diesel with cDPF (low power)
D = Diesel non-DPF (high power)
E = Diesel with DPF (high power)


So to pre-empt the "so how do I know what MY the car is?" question...

Model year identifier "MY" is position 10
8 = 2008
9 = 2009
A = 2010
B = 2011
C = 2012

Thank you EYorkshire.....good pre-empt too, I nearly started typing. Love the motor bytheway.....

You're welcome, you do right to change the oil and filter if you are not sure when last done. Hope you have many trouble free miles
