Yes I'm not having much luck either. I can buy the JLR standard, but thats not going to happen.
I'm intrigued, but then again, it is a Jaguar and it's ment to give you trouble, one way or another.
So looking at some JLR.03.5007 oils it does appear to be equivalent to WSS-M2C950-A and is a full synthetic mid-SAPS ACEA C2 oil in 0W-30 viscosity, typical values from various spec sheets seem to be about:
KV100 = 9.5 to 10 cSt
KV40 = 50 to 55 cSt
TBN = 7.5 to 8
Sulphated Ash = 0.79%
zinc = 850 ppm
This would easily qualify as an API SN oil, and some of them carry that spec too.
Now according to this UK Jag web page
(here) which is a scan of some Jag service document. It says for the 2.0 L Diesel
Quote:
SAE 0W-30 meeting Jaguar Land Rover specification STJLR.03.5007. If unavailable SAE 5W-30 meeting Jaguar Land Rover specification STJLR.03.5005, or meeting specification WSS-M2C934-B can be used.
Does that help ? Not really as Ford 934-B is a low-SAPS C1 oil, much like the one above, but with reduced SA% (~ 0.49%) and reduced TBN (~ 5). Good luck finding this stuff. If you do, I would reduce the OCI when using it.
The Jag forums seem to be full of people being shocked at the 20,000 mile OCI and can they trust it? Plus full of people being annoyed by the lack of availability of JLR oil and the expense of being forced to use the dealer. Must be a Jag thing.
Do the ladies think you have a good looking car or is it a great drive ? I'm looking for positives here.
I've always wanted a V12 Jag, but my mate who was a Jag mechanic talked me out of it, I didn't have enough money to keep it on the road. He suggest a luxury boat or race horse instead.
