The one we all are commenting on was looking for oil for his Range Rover Evoque.....

Why would he need a specific 'Jaguar spec' oil?

from the oils its very apparent which one is the more high-end oil.

Not replying to Mr_Luke the OP but replying to Brian200001.

Does Brian200001 need a Jaguar spec oil for his Range Rover warranty/spec???
.....and if he does - I'm sure there are more choices than the 2 Castrol's

Hoping there are a few oil gurus here that can weigh in. I have a 2019 range rover evoque and like many, I would like to change my own oil more frequently than every 16K miles indicated in the manual.

Of course the manual specifies using oil that complies with the STJLR.51.5122 spec which is:
CASTROL EDGE Professional E 0W-20 (Product Code: 468056) $15 per Quart
https://msdspds.castrol.com/bpglis/...018025845100071859/$File/BPXE-A9VG8C.pdf
Ingredients from the Safety Sheet:
- Synthetic base stock. Highly refined base oil (IP 346 DMSO extract < 3%). Proprietary performance additives.
- Distillates (petroleum), hydrotreated heavy paraffinic â¥75 - â¤90
- Distillates (petroleum), hydrotreated heavy paraffinic â¤5
- Distillates (petroleum), solvent-dewaxed heavy paraffinic â¤3

However, I also found this oil for only $7 per quart which complies with the Audio/VW 508/509 spec:
Castrol EDGE Professional LL IV FE 0W-20 (Product Code: 469279)
https://msdspds.castrol.com/bpglis/...5E802582F3006B6939/$File/BPXE-AKE6LY.pdf
Ingredients from the Safety Sheet:
- Synthetic base stock. Highly refined base oil (IP 346 DMSO extract < 3%). Proprietary performance additives.
- Distillates (petroleum), hydrotreated heavy paraffinic â¥25 - - 1-Decene, homopolymer, hydrogenated â¥10 - â¤25
- Dec-1-ene, homopolymer, hydrogenated Dec-1-ene, oligomers, hydrogenated â¥10 - â¤25
- Distillates (petroleum), hydrotreated heavy paraffinic â¤10
- Distillates (petroleum), solvent-dewaxed heavy paraffinic â¤3

As you can see they are fairly similar but the LL IV FE obviously has more additives/ingredients however:
Both are Castrol Edge Professional
Both have this Titaniam FST (whatever that is)
Both are the same weight.

So although they are not the exact same, does one product or the other appear to be superior? Should I just pay the $15 per quart for the E version or is the LL IV FE product inferior and hence why it is $7 per quart?

Thanks for your input:

Yes, Jaguar and Land Rover merged under the name Jaguar Land Rover in 2013, and his SUV is brand-new. Jaguar - Land-Rover-spec oils are a rarity in the US. Nevertheless, Jaguar Land Rover dealers naturally carry them.

Actually I thought this was a Castrol EDGE Professional oil thread. My bad.


Ideally you would have made your own, new post on this instead of hijacking my post.
You also would have gotten more replies with your own post.
