A fair point, however although photo paper does not have spec oversight as such the description and intent seemed clear and unambiguous enough so ultimately it all comes down to specs (neither wholly foolproof nor the complete story) and intent. For those who wish to take the risk and save a small amount of cash (relatively) good luck, I would not take such a risk with Sparky especially as there are no more made nor a real equivalent from Jaguar.

It's just to ensure you're posting in the correct forum really (a few newbies don't)
I pay a mere £10/$12.50+tax per liter for the correct 0w20 oil for my 2014 5.0l, so there's no way am gonna jeopardise things for the sake of a few ££'s
Note that in some hot/harsh environments with regular temps over 100f some stick to the older spec oil.

I was looking at the Amazon Basics 5w30 high mileage formula for my 125k mile 4.2 SC a few minutes ago and ended up here, who knew I was going to get all of that other good stuff? It's the same as those others, it meets the requirements and all of that but I'm still skeptical. I'm really between Castrol Edge 5w30 high mileage and Edge 5w30 extended service formulas, I can't decide if the extended service formula is too thin for an old motor and might open it up to problems.
