What oil do you use? TDV6

I've not been too lazy to search. I can see people have their own preferences.
Just want a bit of advice on what would be the best oil for my TDV6 2005, to have in the garage as a top up.

Probally gonna have to be from Halfords I'm afraid![/s]

Hi Land Rover recommend Castrol Edge, but you can get halfords own Ford brand oil. Halfords also recommend Mobile 1 oil.

I use Castrol MAGNATEC 5W-30 A1 fully synthetic, but I know you can also buy the C3. I really don't know if there's any fundamental difference between the two, I just bought the A1 because it's what Castrol recommended for my make/model/year. Recently bought a 2007 RRS HSE TDV6 for a Pimp-My-Ride-Project.

Good point Rich, the DPF was introduced after 2010 and C3 spec is a low ash formulation for DPF cars. This is probably why Castrol advised me to buy the 5W-30 A1. Recently bought a 2007 RRS HSE TDV6 for a Pimp-My-Ride-Project.

So am I right in thinking a 2005 doesn't have a dpf?
