Oil tech has moved on Gems since the P38 came out, but personally I wouldn't use 5W30.disagree all you want,you asked what oil to use,it left the factory with 10w 40 semi synth in it,not 5w 30.i think the manufacturer knows more than any concensus.
here you go bud,from another site.
Use what u want but there will be no additional benifits with fully synthetic oil on a bog standard engine other that extended oil changes up to 10,000 -12,000miles which happens with modern cars.
When my disco was serviced by LR main dealer they used semi-synthetic so I have carried on using it, even when i've used indipentant to do a service they semi-synthetic, the brands change
Some use a thicker grade mineral oil to hide the wear in their engine, I believe their engines rattle on synthetic oils :lol:
My part of the world and ambenant temps 10w40 is fine, the same grade as when my disco left the factory.
Why do people ask questions then when they get the answer start shouting the odds. If they think they know better than the person answering why ask in the first place?
No but the flux capacitor has been playing up lately.

No only Deloreans are fitted with them as standard since "Back to the future" was first shown. Sorry to let you down so cruelly but that's the way it is old mate.
At least i am a Lancashire tosser and had to learn how to be, unlike some who are born that way.
