Seems magnatec isn't now available in the US. UK and Ireland no problem.

Just be mindful that the oil recommendation chart provided was from 2009. There have been significant changes in the recommended oil from Jaguar.

My 4.0L SC does not require any top up between oil changes
at 6,000 mile intervals.

That is true whether it has been running 15W40 Rotella conventional,
0W40 Rotella synthetic, 5W40 Rotella synthetic blend, Castrol European
0W40 synthetic, or Castrol 5W50 synthetic.

All of them meet or exceed the API rating specified for my
engine. Some of them meet or exceed the ACEA rating specified
for my engine.
