Yeah, Thats correct...mine is a 2007 Model, so no DPF is fitted...Came with the 2008 Model, and yes....A study of the Oil Manufacturer sites with clarify the oil required if you have a Particulate Filter fitted . For a period, I used Penrite Diesel 5, which is a 5w-40 Oil safe for the TDCI Common Rail Injected engines...I was very confident in using this particular Oil.....however....Not suit able for DPF models.....All the best !! Getting ready to ride out the Cyclone hitting Cairns area tonight.......Wish me luck!
