Diesel type!
As im living in lndian subcontinent, we do not always get purified less sulpher content diesel like Europe.

In my country, many toyota and other Japanese vehicles use normal deisel but some uses super diesel which has got less sulpher content.

My question is, should I always use super diesel or it doesn't matter to go with normal diesel?

Cheers! Very Happy Very Happy

From the Owners Handbook -

Quote:
FUEL QUALITY
Note: Land Rover vehicles are capable of
running with up to a 5% blend of bio-diesel, in
accordance with European Standard EN590.
Sulphur content
The Sulphur content of diesel used in Land
Rover vehicles should not exceed 0.3%.
In some countries, diesel will contain higher
levers of Sulphur, which will require reduced
service intervals to reduce the effects on
engine components. If in doubt, contact a local
Land Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer for
advice


Check the second page of this document about the Oil Service of vehicles using high sulphur fuel.https://www.defender2.net/gallery/albums/u...111723.pdf

In Russia we use low quality diesel with no problem on pumas. But you need proper service for your truck - that depends on how much sulphur in diesel, etc. Here we change oil after 6 - 8 thousands km - depends on conditions (dust, etc).
So you decide. Use normal diesel imo Thumbs Up Puma 110

As long as it is not a MY12 Euro 5 engine it should be no problem to use the standard diesel. Beginning MY2012EU5 engines get a particulate filter, which is a pain in the ass with low rated diesel fuel - so hope there will be row Defenders shipped to India. Never forget: cars have owner, Landrover have field service personnel.
