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...

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

Just spoke to my dealer, they are using / selling
Shell Helix Diesel Ultra AF-L 5W 30 ACEA C1 @ £16.68 (inc vat) per litre
