I did notice however that the manual goes further and says the oil needs to meet "STJLR.51.5122". Some of the Major Oil brands found locally do not reference this specification on the bottle. While I'm happy to try to find oil that is made to this exact specification (and will not just pour any oil in), I was wondering if anyone on the forum had any insight on what this specification actually means. Prior to the F-Pace I was typically using the correct viscosity/oil type and never ran into any problems.
