I was about to say the same. Petronas 5000 FJ.

In my opinion, all things considered, the best oil for the 4.4 SDV8. 2015 Range Rover Autobiography 4.4 SDV8

Well, got round to doing my first FF oil change yesterday and I have to say it was a doddle

The pump I bought (see earlier post from me and "JayGee") to extract the oil worked great, sucking out all the oil in less than 10mins.

Couple of comments about the bits included with the pump. It has 2 metal outlet tubes which you screw into each side of the pump body and is also supplied with 3 tubes, a 10mm ID outlet tube and 2 inlet tubes (8mm/6mm), together with a couple of push fit connectors.

The oil extraction pipe on the FF needs a 8mm ID pipe so the smaller pipes and the push fit connectors were not usable. Fortunately I had some 8mm pipe at home so just cut a small length to fit between the extraction pipe and the pump using a couple of jubilee clips.

And that's it, job done in less than an hour  2017 4.4 SDV8 Autobiography

Works much better than the previous one but I'll be replacing the hoses for next time as they are too short. Took less than 10mins to drain the whole sump. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)
