Did my first oil change over the weekend but put the wrong oil in it appears for an engine with a dpf.

I used Shell Helix Ultra Professional AF but should've used the Shell Helix Ultra Professional AF-L it appears.

Is it worth worrying about, should i change it straight away or will it wait 6 months until the next change? Anyone knows whats the difference between the 2 oils?

Thanks in advance

The difference is one is suitable for dpf models the other isn’t

Hiya Pete

I’d change it if it was mine especially if it’s non DPF compliant

It states.

quickly, block or permanently damage a DPF (through physical particles and DPF damaging burnt oil gases). This is where a Low SAPS (Sulphated Ash, Phosphorous, Sulphur) motor oil comes in, it's basically a low Sulphated Ash, Phosphorous and Sulphur based oil, if a normal engine oil was used these elements would quickly block and the gases would terminally damage the intercut internal of a DPF.

Looks like i'm changing it then

I assume C1 is the correct oil

As the old saying goes, any oil is better than no oil, but the right oil will do the job properly. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed
