11mdl 3.0ltr diesel engine oil.

Just had a oil and filter change at my local garage and they have put Castrol Magnatec 5W-30 fully synthetic oil in it. It is ACEA A1/B1 WSS-M2C913-A,B AND C.approved.They say this is OK. But in the hand book it is another code. Should i get them to drain this out again? Thanks in advance. SVR 2018 in Santorini Black.

You could be asking for trouble from the "diesel particulate filter" by using the wrong engine oil. So make sure what was used is a low SAP's oil which conforms to WSS-M2C934-B as shown in the handbook. The oil you mention they used does not conform to the correct spec so I would get it changed as soon as possible.

I tried to buy some of the same oil from my local Ford/Mazda dealers who should be very familiar with it. The store man had never heard of it, but he did mention they had lots of problems with Diesel Particulate Filters. I wonder why...

The local Landrover repair garage also sold me a litre of the wrong oil so no guarantee they know any better.

opieoils.co.uk sell two makes of the correct oil.

If its not the correct spec its more than you DPF its your warranty - i saw the letter and the TSB reminding the correct spec oil to be used.

Personally i wouldnt accept the lower spec. If it was an LR dealer they should use the correct stuff Mike
