I asked the service department at a Jag/Land Rover dealer in LA. They said that the 0W-20 spec oil for new Jags and Land Rovers are not sold OTC and do not come in quarts. They were happy to sell me an oil filter for 58 bucks though. Sigh

925A is a 5W-20 spec that is a legacy ford spec. Ford no longer use it but Jaguar do, hence they have now come up with their own specification '5006' '5122' is the 0W-20 spec as mentioned earlier. This has fuel economy requirements much higher than the 5W-20 The 2015 Range Rover has Auto...

Originally Posted By: Garak Quite likely. To clarify my previous statement, I was speaking of the Ford spec itself, and not the newer Land Rover spec. Mobil 1's website states: "Ford WSS-M2C925-A. We currently do not offer any motor oils in the United States that meet these specifications. "

Thank you. However, my owners manual does not look like this. It specifies SAE 0W-20 engine oil meeting Jaguar Land Rover specification STJLR.51.5122/WSS-M12R536-A for both engines in the USA.

I have a 2015 Range Rover with a Supercharged 3.0L V6. My apologies if this has been covered but I can't seem to find it on the forums. Where in the USA can you buy Range Rover motor oil with the current specs, that isn't the dealership? Is there a Castrol, Pennzoil or Mobil equivalent? SAE...

no matter how good charger is, if the battery is no good, then then it's not gonna hold a charge. Costco sells the battery tender. If it works keep it. If it doesn't return it anytime, that simple. Most retailers don't have much of a return policy if you open the product, use it and try and...

Just put it in a 335i with the N55, single turbo engine that is being used across the current BMW line-up. It seems to work fine, can't say I feel any difference from the OEM Castrol 5W-30 that was in the car before. Which might be a good thing.

BMW has changed its long time recommended oil change mileage intervals for all 2014 models and beyond. The changes apply to all vehicles produced from July 2013 on. Previously, BMW recommended a 15,000 mile / 24 month Condition Based Service interval, but as of July 2013, the new basic interval...

Originally Posted By: 3putter Yes. you are overthinking this. No brainer choice is M1 5w30, just like the manual says. I personally like QSUD...best value out there IMHO....and they've got the warranty program. Congrats on a beautiful ride. QSUD is probably one of the best values going. Hyundai...

Unless you regularly tow something, or drive in an extremely dusty area, or take the car to a track, odds are your behavior is considered normal. I'd do 5k and then get the oil analyzed to see if you can go longer which in all likelihood you can.

Considering the Santa Fe is calling for conventional OCI':(2.0 TGDI) At first, replace at 3,000 miles (5,000 km) or 6 months, after that, every 5,000 miles (8,000 km) or 6 months. You can probably run the synthetic longer and not worry about it.

Quote: A 35-year-old man has been arrested after allegedly trying to flee the Costco in Burbank with 24 quarts of oil stuffed in his clothes and strapped to his body, police said. Jorge Sanchez of South Gate was spotted about 4:30 p.m. Thursday allegedly trying to leave the store without paying...

I know I have seen Castrol Edge with Titanium 0W-30 (not GC) at either Pep Boys or Autozone here in LA. I know this for sure because I was tempted to buy it over GC but didn't because the lack of LL-01 approval. My cars are still under warranty so not gonna risk it.

Originally Posted By: Hessam I am not comfortable going 12 to 15K on an oil change interval no matter what kind of oil it is and what the manual calls for. Neither am I, especially when BMW's OCI is the same for a normally aspirated engine versus a direct injection turbo charged version, seems...

Agree that owners manuals, specs, and websites often give conflicting information. Often times it's country or continent specific and getting your arms around what is used in Montana versus Malaysia is not an easy task. If you are going to subscribe to BMW's OCI's of 2 years or 15k miles, then...

Originally Posted By: Quattro Pete Originally Posted By: TJPark01 I still don't see an oil that, all things considered is worth using that's better than GC. What about M1 0w-40? That would be the other choice. Either is fine but I prefer GC, but it's based on personal preference not science.
