Engine Oil
Engine oil for Defender, Discovery, Range Rover and Freelander models, with 5W-20, 5W-30, 5W-40, 10W-40, 15W-40 and 20W-50 grades, VW 505.01 oils and selected Ravenol USVO products.
Start with the engine and required oil specification, then check the viscosity grade, approvals and bottle size on the product page before ordering. Oils carrying the same viscosity grade can meet different specifications, so 5W-30 or 5W-40 alone is not enough to confirm the correct oil.

Find the right Land Rover engine oil
Engine oil should be selected by engine and required specification first, then by viscosity grade and bottle size. Use the engine-specific section where available, or start with the required grade before checking the full specification on the individual product page.
| Engine or requirement | Best place to start | Check before ordering |
|---|---|---|
| Defender TD5 and Discovery 2 TD5 | TD5 engine oil or VW 505.01 engine oil | Oil specification, bottle size and whether the oil is for a complete service or top-up |
| Engines requiring 5W-20 | 5W-20 engine oil | The exact manufacturer or industry specification required by the engine |
| Engines requiring 5W-30 | 5W-30 engine oil | The product specification, engine fitment and any emissions-system requirements |
| Engines requiring 5W-40 | 5W-40 engine oil | Check for the required specification, including VW 505.01 where specified for TD5 servicing |
| Engines requiring 10W-40 or 15W-40 | 10W-40 engine oil or 15W-40 engine oil | The exact engine, viscosity and oil specification rather than vehicle model alone |
| Engines requiring 20W-50 | 20W-50 engine oil | Confirm that 20W-50 is the specified grade for the engine and operating conditions |
| Ravenol USVO engine oils | Ravenol USVO range | The required viscosity and specification still need to match the engine |
Check engine oil fitment before ordering
Land Rover models can use several different engines, and oils with the same viscosity can carry substantially different specifications. Confirm the exact engine and required specification from the vehicle handbook, service data or the information shown on the product page.
Engine and model
Identify the exact engine fitted rather than selecting oil from the Defender, Discovery or Range Rover name alone.

Required specification
Match the manufacturer or industry specification stated for the engine. The viscosity grade alone does not confirm compatibility.

Viscosity grade
Check the complete grade, such as 5W-30, 5W-40 or 10W-40, against the servicing information for the vehicle.
Check the complete grade, such as 5W-30, 5W-40 or 10W-40, against the servicing information for the vehicle.
Service quantity
Check the engine oil capacity and whether the oil filter is also being changed before deciding how many bottles are required.

How to compare engine oil
The front label gives the viscosity grade, but the specification and approvals determine whether the oil is intended for the engine. Use the complete product information rather than treating every oil carrying the same viscosity as interchangeable.
| Product information | What to check |
|---|---|
| Viscosity grade | Match the complete grade, such as 5W-30 or 5W-40, to the engine servicing requirements. |
| Oil specification | Check the manufacturer, ACEA, API or other specification stated on the product page against the requirement for the engine. |
| Engine fitment | Use the stated vehicle and engine information together with the oil specification before ordering. |
| Bottle size | Choose a service-fill quantity for an oil change or a smaller bottle where oil is only required for topping up. |
