Low Ash Engine Oil

David737 · Sep 11th, 2021, 19:03

I have a C30 1.6D Drive-e. The hand book stipulates and engine oil of A5/B5, but with the DPF should it not use “low ash” oil? Can I use a low ash engine oil in this 1.6 diesel?

A5/B5 is a low ash specification, for engines with extended service intervals.

Thank you for the info. I was under the impression it had a higher ash content.
