Reference figures for the 2.2-litre Ford Puma diesel, fitted across Freelander 2, Evoque and Defender (Puma). No opinions, no verdicts — just the numbers, correctly sourced and verified against variant differences.
The Duratorq 2.2 takes approximately 6.5 litres with filter change [PLACEHOLDER — confirm vs OEM workshop data], using a 5W-30 oil meeting Ford WSS-M2C913-D or equivalent JLR specification.
Full specification table, variant differences, common mistakes, and the service caveat explained below.

| Capacity with filter change | ~6.5 litres [PLACEHOLDER] |
| Capacity without filter change | ~6.2 litres [PLACEHOLDER] |
| Viscosity grade | 5W-30 (meeting Ford WSS-M2C913-D) |
| Ford specification | WSS-M2C913-D [PLACEHOLDER — confirm exact spec number] |
| JLR specification (cross-reference) | STJLR.03.5003 [PLACEHOLDER] |
| Change interval | 12,500 miles / 12 months [PLACEHOLDER] |
| Oil filter type | Cartridge (spin-on in some applications) |

The Duratorq 2.2 is fitted across several models, and while the core specification is consistent, sump capacity and filter position vary slightly by application.
| Application | Capacity Note | Filter Access |
|---|---|---|
| Freelander 2 (L359) – TD4/SD4 | Standard 6.5L figure applies | Front-mounted, accessible from below |
| Evoque L538 (2.2 diesel) | Standard figure, some early builds noted slightly higher capacity | Front-mounted, tighter access on L538 |
| Defender 2.2 Tdci (Puma) | Standard figure applies | Front-mounted, accessible from below |
| Ford Transit (Mk7 onwards) | Standard figure, some variants use spin-on filter | Front-mounted, spin-on accessible from above |
The manufacturer's 12,500-mile interval assumes motorway-weighted use and high-quality oil. In real UK conditions, short urban journeys can prevent the EGR system from operating efficiently, leading to carbon buildup that contaminates oil and affects turbocharger health [EM-INTERVIEW]. Independent specialists we've spoken to frequently recommend a shorter, 6,000-mile interval for owners whose driving is predominantly short urban trips, regardless of what the service computer indicates. This is particularly important for the Duratorq 2.2 because the turbocharger relies on clean oil for its bearings, and extended intervals can lead to oil coking that damages the turbo — a much more expensive repair than a few extra oil changes.
The dipstick and filler cap on the Duratorq 2.2 are both clearly marked and accessible. Confirm your exact build spec via the engine number stamp described on our Engine Number Location guide before assuming these figures apply — early and late production runs occasionally carry minor running changes that aren't always reflected in aftermarket reference sources.
Getting oil spec wrong on a turbocharged diesel like the Duratorq 2.2 can lead to serious problems. The correct 5W-30 viscosity ensures proper cold-start flow, which is critical for turbocharger bearing protection. The Ford WSS-M2C913-D specification ensures the oil has the correct additive package for the engine's high-pressure injection system and emissions equipment. Using a non-approved oil — even one that matches the viscosity — can lead to increased wear, turbo coking, and premature failure of emissions components. This is also why we treat "any 5W-30 will do" as a genuine misconception worth correcting — the correct specification matters as much as the viscosity number, and cheaper oils meeting the viscosity spec without the Ford approval are a false economy that shows up as a much larger bill years later.
