Default DIYers, what oil are you using in your TD6?

Been looking for a few days now, getting harder to find the Castrol that JLR recommends and wanted to find a suitable replacement, however I've read a lot of speculation and no real world use cases. @AirRyan keeps showing up in my searches, lol, but I'm not sure what he ended up using. I'm pushing 80k miles on my '17 and I've been pretty meticulous about maintenance.

So basically, what year is your Disco, what oil do you use, and how long/how many miles have you been using it?

I use the Castrol C1 5w-30 land Rover recommends in the manual.

Autohausaz always has it.
