Castrol edge FST or not ?

Hello,

I want to add about 0.5 liters of engine oil.

Freelander 2 is a 2009 TD4 2,2 (160) with a Ford engine.

I have a 1 liter can of oil : Castrol Edge FST 5W / 30 : not recommanded by LR or ford

In the engine not the same oil. In my last Land Rover service, dealer put Castrol EDGE oil 5W30 Professional A5 (http://msdspds.castrol.com/bpglis/FusionPDS.nsf/Files/5695D8442D14C595802577ED00480C77/$File/BPXE-85KPK2_0.pdf )

Is it possible, safe and without damaging to mix oils in the engine ?

thanks in advance

No. Use just oils that complies with Ford norm, WSSM2C913-A/B/C/D.

Hello guys!

I made some research between engine oils, and now I'd like to get confirmed my checklist for the oil exchange:
1/ one LR2 Filter Set (includes Oil filter and Drain plug gasket; I ordered the set, because I'm about to change all filters),
2/ a 500ml Engine Flush, one from this list:
- LIQUI MOLY PRO-LINE - 500ml (I couldn't find anything else),
3/ 6l of 5W-30 engine oil, one from this list:
- Castrol MagnaTech A1,
- Elf EVOLUTION SXR,
- Total Quartz Future 9000,
- Total Quartz Future NFC 9000,
- Shell HELIX Ultra AF,
- Shell HELIX HX7 AF,
- Ford FORMULA F,
- LIQUI MOLY LEICHTLAUF SPECIAL,
- LIQUI MOLY LEICHTLAUF SPECIAL F,
- BP VISCO 5000 FE.


Could you suggest another engine flush and/or oil?

Thanks. Smile


I suppose this list follows this feature

Yes, they all follow the Ford specification, the oil now reaching the D revision.
In fact the A1/B1, A5/B5 ACEA specifications.
