It is quality gear & it meets the spec no problem,

Castrol edge is way over priced at £17 a litre unless you go to Asda £27 for 4 ltrs
But i also trust castrol as i have never had any issues with it

Carlube Triple R Fully Synthetic C1
Slightly closer to spec, C1-C3 all look like low saps though.

Bought my second litre of top up today. 5,500 miles gone and hopefully the rate of consumption has settled down!
Still cost me £14.82, yet this time I got a castrol pouch to store it in. Found it difficult to contain my excitement

My dealer charges nearly £20 but comes in a zip bag with a fold up funnel, gloves and wipes. Made me forget price, it was so cool. :0)

I've done 4.5k and the oil was at the bottom of the dipstick. So I dropped into my dealer (Armstrong Massey in York) and they topped up the oil and did a software upgrade to fix my occasional problem with the electric tailgate not closing. They didnt charge. Excellent dealership !

Upon handover I asked for oil and my dealer sold me Castrol 5w-30 C1. But he kept telling me, I will not need it, because Evoque does not consume oil...
RE: Top Up Oil - XFullFatTim - 18-07-2012 02:11pm
Don't believe him! The Evoque and all Land Rover/ Range Rover diesel engines are made with a high carbon content and absorb oil as part of the "running in" - sure not everybody has experienced it but it happens. My Evoque absorbed a lot less than the V6 and V8 TDs I had before but it still managed to get through over a litre of the good stuff in it's first 2000 miles, and now it has seen the light and 8000 miles later and it hardly uses any oil
