Hello all, whilst searching for advice for my 2.2JTD Ulysse, I came across a post saying Fiat DPF engines only take specific oil, Selenia with an additive to help with the regeneration of the DPF. Can anybody enlighten me on this subject, any info would be greatly appreciated.
 
I know the eloys is added by the dealer, just shelled oil £320 for it to be refilled, but I`ve read that the engine oil has to have a B4 or sometimes C2 rating to help with keeping the particulate filter clean. I`m still getting "particle filter regeneration urgent" 100 miles after a forced regen at dealers. All this trouble started 3 weeks ago after a service using Carlube fully synthetic oil, put it down to a coincidence at the time, but I am now wondering if the oil specifications have a bearing on it.
 
it must be a fairly complicated/advanced and sensitive system if the oil specs are something to do with it??? i would be very surprised if it was
