Well I'm still a bit confused. It really wasn't this difficult with my P38!

Yes yours does sir... Every 4.4TDV8 has a DPF... The confusion i believe is that some 2010 3.6TDV8 came with and some without apparently??? BUT 100% all 4.4TDV8's have DPF's ![]() |

I thought that the 8 speed could not be flushed? on reading on here and other places. Was that wrong? Thanks |

That’s definitely wrong, I’ve talked to a few places that do it |

Thanks for the heads up, appears they can now do it, must have read an older post.

Yes they can be flushed but be careful, there is a thermostat in the system that does not allow “standard flushing” so make sure the company offering the service knows what they are doing sir...

Just a twist to this tale, Australian Spec L322 4.4TdV8's were not equipped with a DPF ! Another reason along with the fuel economy and performance makes them very desirable down under. Apparently the first batch of L405's weren't equipped with a DPF either. This is probably due to the late take up of the Euro Emissions legislation here.

I think this spec for non dpf engines is wrong. There is no 5w30 oil for that spec. It is for heavy duty diesel trucks and only 10w40 or 15w40 available for that spec. 2010 3.6tdv8 180k km. sold 06 td6 160k Sold 03 td6 260k |

The 913b spec is the same as for my disco and the old 3.6. Shell do HX7 in a 5w30 which meets 913b, but tbh It’s a mute point as Uk cars have a dpf so need 934b, it is also “synthetic technology” oil not fully synth....
