Ravenol USVO® Engine Oils
Ravenol USVO engine oils covering distinctly different Land Rover engine requirements, from later JLR petrol and Ingenium diesel engines to Defender Puma 2.4 TDCI and highly tuned TD5 applications.
USVO identifies Ravenol’s lubricant technology rather than one oil grade or vehicle fitment. Start with the engine and required manufacturer specification, then match the viscosity grade, emissions requirements and intended engine use before ordering.

Choose the right Ravenol USVO engine oil
The oils in the USVO range share Ravenol's high-stability lubricant technology, but each product has its own viscosity, specifications and intended engine use. ECS, FES, SFE, FDS, VMP and RUP should therefore be treated as six separate engine oils rather than interchangeable versions of the same product.
| Engine or requirement | Best place to start | Check before ordering |
|---|---|---|
| Later JLR petrol engine requiring the relevant 0W-20 specification | Ravenol ECS 0W-20 | Confirm STJLR.51.5122 or STJLR.03.5006 and the exact engine requirement |
| 2.0 Ingenium diesel requiring STJLR.03.5007 | Ravenol FES 0W-30 | Confirm the complete JLR specification rather than selecting by the Ingenium name alone |
| JLR petrol engine requiring STJLR.03.5004 | Ravenol SFE 5W-20 | Confirm the 5W-20 viscosity and STJLR.03.5004 requirement |
| Defender Puma 2.4 TDCI | Ravenol FDS 5W-30 | Premium Twinwoods choice for the 2.4 TDCI; confirm the engine and required specification |
| Engine requiring an ACEA C3 5W-30 with one of VMP's manufacturer approvals | Ravenol VMP 5W-30 | Match the exact manufacturer approval rather than using ACEA C3 or 5W-30 alone |
| Highly tuned TD5 with VNT or larger turbocharger | Ravenol RUP 5W-40 | Engine output, turbocharger, oil temperature and the requirements of the particular engine build |
What does Ravenol USVO mean?
USVO stands for Ultra Strong Viscosity Oil and refers to Ravenol's high-viscosity-stability lubricant technology. The range uses high-quality fully synthetic base oils and carefully matched additive systems to maintain stable lubrication across cold starts, normal road use and high operating temperatures.
USVO does not define a viscosity grade or engine specification. A 0W-20 ECS, 0W-30 FES and 5W-40 RUP can all use USVO technology while being intended for completely different engines and operating conditions.
Engine specification
Match the oil to the manufacturer specification or approval required by the engine.
Match the oil to the manufacturer specification or approval required by the engine.
Viscosity grade
USVO oils span several viscosity grades, so the USVO name does not make 0W-20, 0W-30, 5W-20, 5W-30 and 5W-40 interchangeable.

Approval or recommendation
Check whether the required manufacturer specification is a formal approval or a Ravenol recommendation on the individual product page.

Engine use
Normal servicing, emissions-system requirements, Defender Puma use and extreme TD5 tuning place very different demands on an engine oil.
