Just discovered a company called Smith and Allan in Darlington DL1 1QE, been going over 90 years.

Very good price for C1 engine oil etc, better than other popular suppliers and fast delivery.

You can order direct from them or via eBay shop with free delivery. -----------------------

As opposed to fake 🤔

As long as the spec is met, your engine will not know what sticker was on the label 😎

There are many threads on here about oil specifications, the different base oils, lack of additives... etc etc,,,

Personally I "feel" better knowing that the oil came in a container with Land Rover on it....

Each to their own...  Pete

Land rover don't make oil though, its just a badge

As you say, each to their own 😎

+1 For Smith and Allan.

I've been using them for years. Very helpful on the phone and you can even see the Technical Specs of every oil they sell in the information sheets on-line. Castrol are Land Rovers current supplier of oil. Never had any problem with Smith and Allan oil. Gavin

+2 for Smith and Allen. Been using them for years. Also good for buying paint from.

The guys on the Jag forums love 'em and we all know how fussy they can be (when they're not playing golf)

+3 for Smith & Allan. They are a shell specialist and their oils are Shell based. they meet the spec which is the most important factor... the rest is marketing. 2015 Range Rover L405 SDV8 AB Corris grey

Nice tip, do they do a gearbox oil would be needed for the 8 speed in the L322?

Yes, check out this thread from a couple of years ago and my post (13th down):
