oil type for change
 
ok, first oil change since purcahse coming up. 2011 LR4 5.0 v8. I know it is synthetic 5w20 but cannot find the oen spec oil. what are you guys using. Several local factors recommended Castrol Edge but not sure....

All major brand (Mobil, Castrol, Pennzoil, Havoline etc.) full synthetic 5W20 is excellent oil. I currently use Pennzoil Ultra Platinum as being cracked from natural gas it has a very consistent molecular structure. But really you can't go wrong with any of the synthetics from the supermajor oil companies.

If you're in colder climes, 0W20's preferred for timing chain tensioner longevity. I use Ultra Platinum as well which meets the JLR required spec and occasionally Castrol Edge Professional OE, and always change every 5K miles . Tried going over 10K and the oil was black as pitch.
