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.

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?
