The D2 engine is nothing like the Jag 5.0 in the 2011. 5w40 is too thick for these engines.
There's an oil-change thread that delves into oils ad nauseum. Bottom line is I would not stray from 5w-20. New Land Rover recommendation is 0w-20, but common belief is that's an attempt to eek a tiny fraction of some additional MPG out of the engines. 5w-20 is best.

Thanks again for the many ideas and thoughts about oil for the Land Rover engines. Changed the oil/filter last week using 5w20 Castrol from Walmart.

Eh I dunno, I think the 0 may help with cold start oiling. Once it comes up to temp it acts as a 20.

I recently switched over from Mobil1 to Rotella Gas Trucks 5w20, https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/p...-truck-5w20-full-synthetic-oil-5-qt-550050315.
It meets all the requirements.
It meets all the requirements.
Everything Ryan said above is 110% correct. ^^^
Think I've mentioned this in other threads, but unless you routinely have to shoo penguins or polar bears away from the truck when parked outside, there is absolutely no need to use 0W-20 and almost zero difference in cold flow, vs 5W-20 (assuming both are full synthetics, because nobody would use cheap oil in a $10k engine, right?).
With either 0W-20 or 5W-20 the more important thing is to change it by 5-7kmi with standard service (more often with severe service). Ignore the 15kmi number in the manual.
