Of course, as I've said in another thread, if you're engine doesn't use any oil, then it shouldn't affect the DPF!
I agree. Someone wanting to DIY oil change for the first time could be excused for being totally confused. The Mobil website for example recommends Mobil 1 ESP for MC diesel but Ford approval is not listed. The Penrite site recommends HPR diesel for MC diesel and then in fine print says it's definately not suitable for DPF vehicles. I think I might post a list of oils which claim to meet Ford specs, and are suitable for DPFs. I think it would be a very short list. Just common garden confusion I think.
