Hmmm, same price as my shell - I know which I think I'd trust more!

Castrol edge is way over priced at £17 a litre unless you go to Asda £27 for 4 ltrs
But i also trust castrol as i have never had any issues with it
Not recommended unless you want engine damage as NOT C1!

I was checking what oil my dealer sold me. And it is Castrol Edge Profesional A5 5W-30. I was checking it and it is A1/B1/A5/B5 compliant. (C1 is not mentioned anywhere). I looked what those codes meant. And C1 simply means it is DPF friendly.
I also looked up that Ford is recommending Castrol Edge Profesional A5 5W-30 for its engines with DPF.
So I tend to believe it is good oil for Evoque and it does not have to be strictly C1. Am I wrong?

My dealer uses and sells the Castrol Edge Professional C1 5W-30 which I believe is one of the recommended top up oils for Evoque diesel engines specifically with DPF.

My dealer trying to charge me £76 for 6litres. Over£12 per litre
RE: Top Up Oil - cjfp - 22-08-2012 05:41am
Well, thats more than you can buy it for, but certainly less than mine wants from me!
RE: Top Up Oil - Evo-king - 26-08-2012 11:42am
Oh dear now I'm confused.
Checked oil as I do each week, the weird dipstick doesn't help, because when you take it out and clean it, reinsert it and remove it again the whole dipstick is coated in oil, so I always take the initial removal reading.
Anyhow, it shows 3/4 full on the stick. I don't know how much to put in.
Also my Castrol Edge Fully Synthetic says ACEA C2, C3.
Beginning to thing this might be no DPF friendly, any suggestions?

According to the online owner's manual........................ for the Diesel - from just above minimum to the Max level is 0.5ltr/ 1 pint, if just below max don't top up, if below the minimum mark add 1.5ltrs of oil - the numbers for a petrol engine are slightly different
