Besides the point of the post but I would recommend an oil analysis. A good tribologist will give you the right interval to change, viscosity, status of wear to your motor etc. They will review friction, wear, lubrication and advise the best motor oil to go for which could affect cost hopefully in a good way and not in a bad way. Check out Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids with respect to motor oils. With your best interest in mind, if you're planning on buying another barrel, I would advise this approach before dropping cash.

Or just buy whatever meets the correct spec and is a good price
Mate….i don’t mean to be rude, but it’s a LR 200tdi. Not a supercharged speed machine. They are designed for farmers and the military who might need to use any old crap just to keep it running and doing its job. I’ve had mine running, and running well with filtered used engine oil as fuel.
Yeah I know but just thought of throwing that in there just. I am a nerd for oils. I got to throw this last one as well but if you want to keep your motor really clean, google "insane diesel - 1 micron progressive filter". I dont have it because I dont need a third filter but for the older motors at this age I would consider it especially for a diesel using mineral oil. Just another additional advice to extend your oil intervals and keep your motor clean. it wont effect your additive package as additives are in nanos not microns.
I have not been in their for years, went in the once and asked for price on front brake pads for wifes A6, 96 quid he said, I was still laughing when I walked out the door.
