Default Oil Change Where to Buy Oil To JLR Specs

Hey everyone have been searching trying to find SAE 0w-20 STJLR.03.5006 per my Owners manual and can't find any so far.
Where are you all buying your oil? Castrol or some other brand?
Thanks for your help.

In the states we buy Liqui Moly 0W-20 labeled specifically for Land Rover. Amazon carries 5L for around $50.

It's "Top Tech 6600", see picture and link near end of the oil change sticky.

I saw that but didn't think it had the STJLR.03.5006 spec specifically.

I’ve purchased it from Amazon and can confirm that it does meet the above specs.

Default STJLR 03.5006 Approved Oils

I am aware of at least 3 other motor oils other than the aforementioned Liqui Moly Top Tec 6600 that meet the STJLR.03.5006 specification and are available in the US.

1. Ravenol ECS, EHS and LDD OW-20. (Approved) https://www.ravenolamerica.com/oil-finder
2. Eurol Ultrance ECO Fully Synthetic 0W20. (Approved) https://www.blauparts.com/0w20-fully...o-5-liter.html
3. VALVOLINE EUROPEAN VEHICLE FULL SYNTHETIC OW-20. (Recommended) https://sharena21.springcm.com/Publi...5-ac162d889bd1

l remember when there were only two choices of engine oil.

Castrol GTX
Duckhams Hypergrade

Now there's dozens of choices, with stern warnings about using the wrong one.

l wonder what would happen to the Land Rover engine if you used Castrol GTX in it.

This was a 20/50 grade mineral oil that was recommended for just about every car in the 1980's

Things have moved on a lot since the "good old days" it seems.
