Well, it all depends on if you have a DPF fitted:
here is the latest specs from SSM50837:
WSS-M2C934-B specification engine oil used in DPF equipped vehicles 2.7 TDV6, 3.0 TDV6, 3.6 TDV8, 4.4 TDV8, Defender 2.2 Puma and Freelander 2.2 TD4
Castrol SLX Professional Powerflow C1 5W-30 is replaced by
Castrol EDGE Professional C1 5W-30
WSS-M2C913-B/C specification engine oil used in 4.2/4.4 AJV8 Gasoline and non DPF Diesel engines 2.7 TDV6, 3.0 TDV6, 3.6 TDV8, 4.4 TDV8, Defender 2.2 Puma and Freelander 2.2 TD4
Castrol SLX Professional Longtec A5 5W-30 is replaced by
Castrol EDGE Professional A5 5W-30
So Edge C1 5w30 C1 being the important bit for low ash oil. or oil reaching ford spec WSS-M2C934-B for DPF vehicles
Edge A5 5w30, or any oil oil reaching ford spec WSS-M2C913-B/C for non DPF vehicles.
It seems you can use the more expensive C1 oil in non DPF vehicles, but there would be no benefit.
If you are unsure if your vehicle is a DPF, look underneath at the centre exhaust silencer (DPF unit) & if it's got a sensor in front of & behind it, with extra pipework, its a DPF model. If just a normal box/pipe, then it's non DPF. There is a sensor on all models in the front exhaust pipes, so don't mistake that for DPF.
Or PM me your VIN & I can check.
I hope that has made things clearer. 
Regards
Steve

SSM: Special service message.
Like a technical service bulletin, to inform dealers & repairers of issues, & to provide up to date information.
Regards

This is what I had last month, A new turbo fitted (free)to a 15000 mile 60 plated D4, but had to wait for Land Rover to fit it.

So while there is plenty of debate about the correct oil and availability, seized engines don't appear to be a common problem.
I'm not sure which oil the dealer used but if this was the issue then presumably they would have a few queuing up for new engines. Mine doesn't have a DPF, although I'm not sure this is relevant in this case anyway.
Just waiting for the dealer to get hold of an engine now. Biggest problem is I'm getting used to the toys in the HSE! Also have to say that Orkney Grey is growing on me. D4 XS - Buckingham/Ebony
