Now, with $100 of parts for a do it yourself oil change, maybe I should extend the change interval to 8K miles.
I used to be a 2K interval guy before synthetics. Then I became a 5K interval guy with my LR3. Plus, with an 8.5 quart capacity, I think the extra oil helps it last longer than a 4 quart system would.

Glad to know there is alternative to buying from stealership. Did a search, found SDS from Castrol site dated back to Feb 2018, but cant find any retailer yet.

I use Mobil-1 5W40 turbo diesel truck. Wix WL 7490 filter. Both of these products are as good as any in the industry. The same motor, built in the same factory, will soon be available in the F150. I'm sure Ford will say you have to use Motorcraft oil and filters. Baloney. I change on 7500 mi interval.

That's great data and the Castrol product is no doubt top quality. I'm just a mobil-1 guy and have been for a long time. I have run 100's of thousands of miles in Powerstrokes using it, and I run it in everything I have, cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats, lawnmowers, portable generators you name it. Knock wood not a single failure to date. BTW, the turbo diesel truck oil meets the CK-4 and ACEA E9 spec for diesel engines, which I believe are the most stringent at the moment. The ACEA C class specs that Castrol references for our application are for oils that are recommended for diesel or gas engines. For now I'm gonna stick with what I know. I just turned 20K miles on my Td6

Oil change
You are correct, the TD6 requires STJLR.03.5005
I change my oil excessively early at 5k miles. The reason is it is a diesel and it has a diesel smell to the oil, so I am willing to buy oil versus a new engine.
The gas engine holds more oil than the diesel's 6 liters of oil.
I also need to look at my socket that i use forfthe filter, to get the size, as I was asked that question earlier.
Also, I put jack stands on the frame rails. You can see the points when underneath.
