Recommended Types of Land Rover Oil Specifications
In the mid 1990's Land Rover began using their own internal engine oil quality specification system. The engine oil quality specifications and standards were put in place to ensure that a higher quality level of engine oil would be used rather than broader and more general API or ACEA oil quality specifications. The new specifications and standards ensure optimal engine reliability and longevity. There are currently 6 different oil types that have been established for Land Rover engines since the mid 1990’s. Each Land Rover oil types are denoted by letters and numbers, signifies the necessary oil chemical properties and performance level required for specific Land Rover engine applications. Land Rover engines that experience mechanical issues or failures can be attributed to the prolonged use of low to mid quality engine oils that are not in accordance with the Land Rover engine oil quality standards. Using the correct type of Land Rover oil specification as suggested by Land Rover for your engine type will offer the best possible engine performance, protection, and longevity. Below you will find a brief overview and explanation of the Land Rover engine oil specifications along with the basic engine application they coincide with.
How to confirm which Land Rover oil specification is right for your engine?
Wondering how to find out what type of oil your Land Rover takes? Always consult your service manual and confirm the exact specific fluid and oil requirements for your specific Land Rover engine application. The recommended Land Rover oil type, specifications, quality standards, and oil viscosity weight are specified in your owner's manual. These specifications can typically be referenced in the owner's manual index under engine oil or operating fluids. If you have lost your owner's manual and are having difficulty determining what type of Land Rover oil to use, you may wish to refer to our BLAU® Oil Change Kits for your Land Rover model. Our oil change kits conveniently include the correct Land Rover oil type, amount of oil, oil filter, and hardware for each specific model and engine type.

Land Rover STJLR.03.5004 will typically always recommend a Full SAPS or Full Ash additive (Full Sulphated Ash Phosphorus Sulfur) level formulation suitable for extended oil change intervals and should have a minimum high-temperature high shear viscosity of HTHS of 2.9 - 3.5 mPa*s.
- Land Rover STJLR 03.5004 oil type specification will always correlate to a SAE 5W20 viscosity.
- Land Rover STJLR 03.5004 is also originally corresponded to the ACEA A1 B1 specification. Around 2016 the ACEA A1 B1 specification has been removed or no longer referenced by ACEA. All ACEA A1 B1 oil formulations should be updated to correlate with ACEA A5 B5 quality standards.
Land Rover STJLR 03.5005 Oil Type Specification
Land Rover STJLR.03.5005 oil type specification was primarily developed for use with mid-size displacement Land Rover diesel engines equipped with diesel particulate filter emission after treatment systems. Currently in the USA the Land Rover STJLR.03.5005 oil specification is only used in the Land Rover models equipped with the 3.0L V6 diesel engine, often refered to as Td6. Land Rover STJLR.03.5005 will typically always require a Low SAPS (Low Sulphated Ash Phosphorus Sulfur) additive level formulation to extend the life of modern engine emission systems, lower oil viscosity, extended oil change intervals, and should have a minimum high temperature high shear viscosity HTHS of 2.9 mPa*s.
