RE: Top Up Oil

Opie Oils used to be a forum sponsor on RRS/D3/FFRR and Defender2, they don't seem to have bothered with us though. You could then get a forum discount on their products

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

RE: Top Up Oil

Recommended Oils from my Handbook

For Diesel Castrol SLX Professional Powerflow C1 (Ford 934-B)
For Petrol 5w/30 (Ford 913-B)

Manual Also states you must use correct spec oil with a DPF of significant engine damage WILL occur! E.G. C1 is Essential.

Found this useful info for understanding the differences in Specs.

A/B : gasoline and diesel engine oils

A1/B1 Stable, stay-in-grade oil intended for use at extended drain intervals in gasoline engines and car & light van diesel engines specifically designed to be capable of using low friction low viscosity oils with a high temperature / high shear rate viscosity of 2.6 mPa*s for xW/20 and 2.9 to 3.5 mPa.s for all other viscosity grades. These oils are unsuitable for use in some engines. Consult owner manual or handbook if in doubt.

A3/B3 Stable, stay-in-grade oil intended for use in high performance gasoline engines and car & light van diesel engines and/or for extended drain intervals where specified by the engine manufacturer, and/or for year-round use of low viscosity oils, and/or for severe operating conditions as defined by the engine manufacturer.

A3/B4 Stable, stay-in-grade oil intended for use in high performance gasoline and direct injection diesel engines, but also suitable for applications described under A3/B3.

A5/B5 Stable, stay-in-grade oil intended for use at extended drain intervals in high performance gasoline engines and car & light van diesel engines designed to be capable of using low friction low viscosity oils with a High temperature / High shear rate (HTHS) viscosity of 2.9 to 3.5 mPa.s. These oils are unsuitable for use in some engines. Consult owner manual or handbook if in doubt.

C : Catalyst compatibility oils

C1 Stable, stay-in-grade oil intended for use as catalyst compatible oil in vehicles with DPF and TWC in high performance car and light van diesel and gasoline engines requiring low friction, low viscosity, low SAPS oils with a minimum HTHS viscosity of 2.9 mPa.s. These oils will increase the DPF and TWC life and maintain the vehicles fuel economy.
Warning: these oils have the lowest SAPS limits and are unsuitable for use in some engines. Consult owner manual or handbook if in doubt.

C2 Stable, stay-in-grade oil intended for use as catalyst compatible oil in vehicles with DPF and TWC in high performance car and light van diesel and gasoline engines designed to be capable of using low friction, low viscosity oils with a minimum HTHS viscosity of 2.9mPa.s. These oils will increase the DPF and TWC life and maintain the vehicles fuel economy.
Warning: these oils are unsuitable for use in some engines. Consult owner manual or handbook if in doubt.

C3 Stable, stay-in-grade oil intended for use as catalyst compatible oil in vehicles with DPF and TWC in high performance car and light van diesel and gasoline engines, with a minimum HTHS viscosity of 3.5mPa.s. These oils will increase the DPF and TWC life.
Warning: these oils are unsuitable for use in some engines. Consult owner manual or handbook if in doubt.

C4 Stable, stay-in-grade oil intended for use as catalyst compatible oil in vehicles with DPF and TWC in high performance car and light van diesel and gasoline engines requiring low SAPS oil with a minimum HTHS viscosity of 3.5mPa.s. These oils will increase the DPF and TWC life.
Warning: these oils are unsuitable for use in some engines. Consult owner manual or handbook if in doubt.

SAPS : Sulphated Ash, Phosphorus, Sulphur DPF : Diesel Particulate Filter TWC : Three way catalyst HTHS : High temperature / High shear rate viscosity

RE: Top Up Oil

Sorry if I'm coming to this thread late...Just joined up!

I recently topped up my oil after 6000 miles of mainly motorway miles. It was hard to find the right spec oil I must say. No LR dealers in West Wales when I needed to top up so knowing it had to be a Ford spec oil I went to the local Ford dealer. They were hopeless - tried selling my the non-DPF oil and thankfully I too had read the handbook. They didn't have any other oil to offer me. Halfords don't to an equivalent grade so had to go to a specialist car parts place and bought one that was for Mazda but met Ford's spec. I can't believe dealers are unaware of the oil grade requirement for Evoques.

Best consider online purchase in the future. I know only too well how much time and energy you can waste with local dealers and retailers.

RE: Top Up Oil

Good idea IKM....thanks for the tip. However on this instance I wanted to top up quickly as I was away from home and didn't like running the car on the lower end of the dipstick.

RE: Top Up Oil

Embarrassed Not being one of mechanical / technical knowledge I didn't realise the full extent of the oil spec. Topped mine up 2 weeks ago, checked the spec in the book 5w -30 Thumbs Up fantastic got some of that...... errr no I havent didnt read / understand the C1 bit. topped up with a litre of A1 B1 spec. Is this going to be ok mixed with the oil already in the engine or do I need to get it booked in for an oil change?

Now in possesion of my SD4 Auto Dynamic., Santorini, Privacy Glass Shadow, Chrome Shadow style 7's Mixed emotions

RE: Top Up Oil

Shouldn't be a problem - it will possibly make the DPF regenerate an bit more often than it should
