Well here we are. Yet another visit at the dealer.
Thank You for all your input on this matter. Here is what I have found since my last post.
I went to the dealership and asked to see a quart/litre of the 5W20 WSS M2C925-A oil they use in my car. I got a quart of Castrol SLX Professional OE 5W20 spec'd WSS M2C925-A. Now this is the important (as I see it) aside from meeting a myriad of specs other than WSS M2C925-A it was also imprinted that it meets and exceeds a1/B1 AND A5/B5 (the high performance counterpart).
When I looked online, Mobil 1, Castrol Edge with TFT, Edge with SPT, Amsoil, Penzoil, Valvoline etc... I found that those that claim that it is "suitable" for use only meet A1/B1. That includes all over the counter Castrol Products. I have NOT found ANY oil that MEETS WSS M2C925-A and A5/B5 except for the Castrol they sell at the dealership, which is the oil they claim I MUST use to keep my warranty in-force.
So, 5W20 from the dealership, at $ 189.00 per oil change with the "special" oil it is. It's interesting, at my last oil change, the entire oil change was done with the car on the ground. They claim I have no oil drain plug and the oil is changed using a suction tube built in by Jaguar for said purpose right in the middle of my filler area. It is there, and i saw 8 quarts come out, then the filter (under the engine cover) then 8 quarts of new 5W20 WSS M2C925-A Castrol oil went in. Rather interesting... I was wondering what that suction tube was about...
THis is where I am at the moment.
