Not sure which oil to use for my 2013 SD4 as the handbook states 'SAE 5W-30 meeting Ford 934-B specification' but I can't can't see Ford 934-B on any oil websites. I also don't know if my FL2 has a DPF.

I live very near to Euro Car Parts and their website offers me several choices based on entering my reg no, however at least one of their suggestions is states 'without dpf' so I'm confused to say the least. They have a 50% code for oil at the moment so I want buy form them but don't know which is the right spec for my FL2.

Any help appreciated.

Pretty sure as 13 yours will have DPF.

The Euro Car Parts website is rubbish at selecting the correct parts - really need to know what you require before going there.

Ive just put in my reg plate and it offered engine oil for non-dpf cars - mine is a 2014 with dpf - very poor !

Id do a search on Opie or Millers sites and then go and see if ECP offer a better price . Jules

It has to be C1 oil. Try Millers oils at many web sites, my last lot came from getoffroad.com and two 5 litre containers were sent with no carriage costs and timely.

Yes but what does C1 mean? It doesn't state that in the handbook and Opie's website suggest this:

Just looked in my handbook - its got a DPF and uses Ford 934-B oil - -which is the same as C1 on ACEA classification.

FWIW i put my reg plate in on the Opie site and got the correct oils. You can easily click on the oil spec to double check - ECP offer no help there. Jules

That oil doesnt meet your ford specification -

Oils are classified using the ACEA system. Ford and other manufacturers produce their own requirements (hence all the different codes) and these will met by a ACEA oil code - its usually all on the individual oil can label.

However there is overlap - Opie came up with 5 oils for my car - all meet 934-B but some are C1 only, some C1 and C2

The handbook states dealer only supplied Castrol Professional oil Its been done to death on here so just listen to them that have done it.

Email Castrol, I did years ago and was told C1 and you can't buy it except from a LR dealer. Millers then were the only C1 alternative and others are now on the scene but are often more expensive. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Thanks. So it looks like Opie's website not giving correct product when inputting reg number then.

Ordered this from ECP https://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Land+Ro...amp;000398

Back of the drum states it's C1, so hopefully the correct oil?

If its C1 its exactly what you need, I hope you did not pay more than Millers though from several suppliers out there. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Hi

I use Shell Helix Ultra Professional 5w/30 it is ACEA C1, Ford WSS-M2C 934-B, Jaguar Land Rover STJLR.03.5003 approved, and costs £33.73 for 5 litres and £10.01 for 1 litre from mytyres.co.uk, (link below) although it's shipped from Germany takes a few day to arrive but service is good and the product is as per manufacture recommendation.

Another vote for Shell Helix, although from Opie Oils :

Cheers

I know it’s not suitable for FL2 but it’s a bargain for others.
