Oil type help please

Hi please can anyone help. Only had my fl2 one year, i have previously used Engine oil triple qx/ 5w-30 premium synthetic wss-m2c913-a/b and just ordred it again but they sent out a different brand Vortec pro semi synt 5W-30 wss-m2c913-b. As i am now confused as My Landrover just passed its MOT today with no advisories it is a Freelander2 2.2 td4 2011
The mot inspector told me that i have a Diesel Particle Filter fitted. My manual states i should use WSS-2C913-B But if i am right that is for a vehicle with out the DPF. My 8th character of my vin is a "C" which does mean that a DPF is fitted. Should i be using 5W-30 FULLY SYNTHETIC WSS-M2C934-B ? Thanks for your help, regards Russell.

I get mine via their eBay shop which comes with free delivery. Don't know if I pay more than going direct though. You would have to make a comparison. Now at the point when I learn something new something old is lost out the other side !
Now retired so it doesn't matter anymore.
Freelander now gone.

delivery charges are on their website

oddly I once found it cheaper to order 2 smaller containers than a single larger one Jules

Seems cheaper to order direct at the moment because i will get a discount of 10% for my first order, depending on there postage charge. 2 smaller 5lt containers would be cheaper in the short term but thought that a 20lt container would give me enough oil for 3 oil changes and top ups if needed. Thanks
