I've got 10 litres of very expensive Mobil 1 at home. It was supposed to be for my Porsche, but i'm getting rid of that now so I was wondering whether this could be used in the XF?

It's quite common in the Porsche world to buy your own oil and take it to the dealer when your car is due for an oil change as Porsche charge around £14 per litre of Mobil 1 oil!

I bought all 10 litres for £60. I'd rather use it if I can.

I believe that it is Castrol Edge 0w-30. Whether you could use the Mobil i guess would depend on the viscosity of it as Mobil1 has different formulations. Also Edge turbo diesel is specifically made for diesels to help with soot etc.

The handbook says 5/30!

Different specs for petrol and diesel though!

Castrol Edge is available in a 5-30 so maybe I just clicked the wrong one

The dealer told me they use semi-synthetic. The owners manual specifies 5W-30 meeting Jaguar spec WSS M2C913-B only. This is a Ford spec which is covered by Magnatec 5W-30 A1 at around £9 a litre or Comma semi synthetic at £4. I don't think Mobil 1 is the right spec.
