Background - my adult daughter has a 2017 Landrover RR Evoque (2.0 gasoline engine). The factory recommendation is to use CASTROL EDGE PROFESSIONAL 5W30 C1 full synthetic oil with changes every 10,000 miles. Each oil change requires 6.0 quarts of oil. The cost per oil change is always around $125 if you get the supplies yourself (or about $250 at the LR dealership).
However, I was wondering if it might be better to replace the oil/filter more often (every 5,000 miles) but with an oil that is CASTROL EDGE PROFESSIONAL C1 and doesn't meet the STJLR.03.5003 specification. The cost of doing either option would be about the same. In the case of more frequent replacements, I was thinking of using CASTROL EDGE 5W30 (non-professional) along with the factory recommended filter. When I go to the CASTROL website and enter my vehicle information this is the recommendation but I don't see anywhere that it meets the STJLR.03.5003 specification.
So, I am asking your expert advice on which of these two options would be better. I am bit lost in the world of "oil speak" so hoping one the experts here can help more sort out what would be the best approach. Thank you in advance for your help.
