Engine oil

[Tcturbo]

Hi My 2003 X350 and I live in France and my nearest dealer is 55 miles away in Bordeaux.

 

I cannot find any Oil that conforms to the standards listed in the hand book.

 

Does anybody have an international brand name and type of Oil that I might be able to find that is ok......clearly a 5w30

 

Here's hoping.

Trevor I understand and accept that 5 / 30 is the recommended however, in my XKR 4.2 V8 Supercharged which has the same recommendation I always use Magnatec. It is my preferred choice of lubricant after foliong a demonstration of it working. It leaves a working on all metallic parts of the engine in comes in contact with offering protection if Oil is not present momentarily.

Its always a personal choice of make / brand

Hi Trevor, and welcome to the club.

 

I have also used Castrol Magnatec, which is guaranteed for 20k miles, even though my engine Oil is changed at much less than that.

 

I do know that Esso and Mobil have oils that conform to Jaguar's requirement.  A good filling station should have their own propriety brand in stock that conforms also.

 

Regards,
