Exclamation What is the correct oil I should use?

Bought a Jaguar XF Diesel 2.2 Luxury recently (2015). I need to top up the oil.

The manual says for DPF vehicles I need SAE 5W-30 meeting specs WSS M2C934-B. I have been looking for this specification in Castrol but I cannot find it easily (as Castrol is what Jaguar recommends).

I did find this: https://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-162109-...ngine-oil.aspx
However this is the only website I can find it on and the packaging does not explicitly state it meets M2C934-B (though the documentation does mention it).

I looked at some alternatives and found a Shell alternative here: https://www.eurocarparts.com/p/shell...5ltr-521772291
Is this Shell alternative one I should use?

Or if you have any other recommendations I'd like to know thank you!!

I searched online and WSS M2C934-B is a Ford spec. In my understanding the specs changes from time to time. Since 2015 many improvements/additives have been added to the oil. If it was me, knowing the car is no longer in warranty (2015) I'll just buy the 5W-30 with Ford current specs. Look at the back of the bottle and see if there is a number sequence with a WSS xxxxxx-x to it and that is the current one. Notice the numbers are much higher/greater compared to the 2015 issued spec
