HAVE I GOT A DPF, NEED TO KNOW FOR OIL?

Hi Everyone,

I have decided to carry out my own service as due to lockdown I have time on my hands and not a lot of dosh. First problem is the oil supplier wants to know if I have a DPF or not as apparently this decides the choice of oil. I looked on the forum and found a chart to look up via vin number but I think it predated my car as it had mine down as petrol! Mine is a 2014 3ltr diesel with the vin number below. Does anyone know how i can find out if I have a DPF?

Almost certainly has, but go on to Advanced Factors or eurocarparts site and put in your reg, it'll tell you what oil you need.

Thanks but all the registration look-ups just give you a choice of DPF or Non DPF oil - Ahhhh!

EU5 engine, so yes it has DPF.

Oil 5W30: Ford spec WSS–M2C934–B

for example: Shell Helix Ultra Professional AF-L 5w-30

found an old 2012 post about this;;

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/l319-discovery-...ost1681008

Hi all
All 2.7's in Aus do not have DPF.
Was only introduced for the 3.0l.
If u have a 3.0l, your vin will have a G if u have a DPF.
Eg: SALLAAAG incl. DPF, SALLAAAF no DPF.

Cheers.

If that is still relevent info then the G in the VIN would mean I have a DPF.

Is it safe to use DPF grade oil in a non DPF engine, just in case say it didn't have a DPF in the end?

Cheers for that, and is this oil also the fabled C1?
