European Fiat Ducato Diesel Oil in the USA

I am trying to search out an equivalent oil to Selenia WR FORWARD 0W-30 that I can obtain in the USA.

It’s a 2025 Fiat Ducato 2.2 diesel. It’s a DPF/Adblue/DEF equipped engine.

The specs are:
0w-30
ACEA C2
Approvals: FCA 955535-DS1

Is anybody able to suggest anything?
Any help gratefully received.
 
Thank you for all the replies.

I’m new to being fussy about oils, in all my years working on vehicles I have never once gone any further than looking at the grade.

How important is the manufacturer approvals part of the spec?

The van is a UK registered euro 6/7 vehicle currently on holiday in North America and the engine is not available in any Promaster to my knowledge.
 
You imported it to the US for a vacation? That's neat, I never thought someone would do that unless it's for a very long trip to make the cost worthwhile. So are you staying here for a few months or more to tour the country?.

It's just a modern dpf diesel. Any dual rated euro 30/40 will do like M1 ESP 0/5w-30 but if it doesn't burn you could use high saps diesel oil. These are designed to burn up to an X amount of oil per X amount of miles without having an issue under warranty so if it's near the consumption limit using that lower ash oil will help preserve the aftertreatment equipment life but if it doesn't burn anything or just a little a high saps oil wouldn't hurt but there's not much reason to use it when good low ash oils exist on every walmart shelf for a good price.
 
Temporary Import to Canada initially and then into the USA. It’s fairly common for Europeans on holiday/vacation. I’ve little to no interest in warranties. Fiat in the UK would fight you tooth and nail for a bulb let alone engine failure. Life is too short.
I came on a fresh oil change (van had only done 2000miles at the time) and with 2 oil filters but I am clocking up miles at a faster rate than I expected.
I will want to do a change in the next couple of weeks.
Looks like oil will be easy to source, thanks to everyone who has commented.
I am struggling to find oil filters over here and wondering what I can do apart from shipping from the UK. The new 2.2 engine is new even in Europe and there doesn’t appear to be any options other than genuine parts right now.

2000 miles is very short unless this camper runs for a long time while stationary and you've accrued a high engine hour count. I think the oil filter could do at least one or two more runs in there in case you don't find something. This is what ebay says about the filter and the oem number.

It cross referenced to and back to the bmw 11427557012/11427622446 which correlates to the common fram 10066 and an autozone review says it and the KN 7024 fits their mini cooper. The kn 7024 and fram 10066 look about identical to one another and the bmw and oem fiat filter. So when looking up parts use a 2012 mini cooper like I did which crosses back around.

Given that you have a filter in the box you can try to go into an autozone or advance auto parts store and go to the counter and tell them that you brought an oil filter to check to see if one on the shelf matches so that they don't give you any issue. both parts stores say they have them in stock but in my area of course but i imagine they'll have them in stock elsewhere. Use a good ruler to measure the center just to be sure.

Incredible reply. Thank you.
The short oil change this time was purely to start from scratch for this trip. No other reason.
How did you manage to do an oil filter cross reference???
I actually have the very latest model with a spin on canister type filter.
This one;
https://augustin-group.com/p/oil-filter-2630166oe
Didn't know they recently changed to a new style so I guess I found one on ebay from before the 2023 model year?

Normally I use this https://www.oilfilter-crossreference.com/ but sometimes it's not broad enough to I have to pre cross to get more results so I can cross reference better so I used this first https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts...latform-chassis-250/145290-180-multijet-2-2-d and it comes back to both m22 x 1.5 and m20 x 1.5 but stellantis uses the m22 a lot as of recently but only for gasoline engines here and it's called the MO 339 in the US so I imagine that's the one?

If it's the m22 x 1.5 threaded one then it's common here but I can't get the bypass spring pressure. What I find says either 2 bar but only for non OEM filters and that would be 29 psi but it's possible the mopar one may not even have a bypass as some engines usually diesels don't have one because it's integrated into the oil filter housing which is preferred. Can you look inside the filter so see if there's a spring at the bottom. Mopar isn't known for putting it at the top like some others but it could have it up top.

There are two main types for the m22 filters as GM uses the m22 in both gas and diesel engines but both are different relief spring pressure wise.

There is the low relief valve spring pressure fram 10575 which is the longer length one that is the GM pf63 and A shorter length but still lower pressure 10060 being the pf48 and these are usually meant for the gasoline engines and the spring pressure is 9-15 psi.

A higher relief valve spring pressure being 19-25 psi 12060/pf24/pf64 that are typically for GM diesel engines but I think a model or two says to use these on a gas engine for some reason. But for the most part diesel engines are just going to have a higher spring pressure as a whole.

If I had to give it the best guess I'd say the pf64 or the ph12060

I see every summer a bunch of European license plates on various Sprinters, MAN, etc. around national parks here.

I’m 99% sure there’s a spring under the nut.
 
Odd looking filter. I've never seen a white adbv and I don't know what that green stuff on the bypass valve is. grease? Maybe it's the image but it looks large. Can you measure the length and diameter of it with a ruler.

The filter says M22 on it so I’m guessing that’s the thread type.

Diameter is ~76mm
Length is ~90mm

The green stuff looks like on overly liberal application of thread lock.
