Again, I didn't want to offend. It was not personal.
I was just wanted to point out that people, generally, are looking at the price - instead of quality - for things that really matters.
You are right, I don't know the Millers oil, but I know that everything in life comes with a price. And the more quality, the higher the price. Otherwise, there is no profit.
And I believe that Millers, or anyone that has lower prices, still wants to make profit, right?

Australia 2015 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE Auto Aintree Green

I’ve been interested in this thread with the main difference being that all L359 in AU are Euro 4 so no DPF.
Trying to find the correct specification oil I must say has been a challenge.
Only 2 that I’ve managed to find is Castrol Edge Professional 5w30 A5 (with great difficulty and only in a 20l) Meets WSS-M2C913-C, Jaguar Land Rover engine oil specification STJLR.03.5003 & ACEA A5/B5
And
Shell Helix Ultra AF 5w30 which no one seems to stock and meets Jaguar Land Rover engine oil specification STJLR.03.5003

I’ve decided to go with the Castrol Edge Professional A5 5w30 which is suitable for Australian Petrol & Diesel L359 but this is not suitable if you have DPF to be clear. MY15

Yes that oil is fine but why pay £45 when you can get Millers C1 on eBay for under £30

Not sure if this helps but I've just ordered 10 litres of Penrite diesel oil, conforms to C1. DPF and non-dpf for LR vehicles. $90 posted.

Yes, I saw that recommendation at SuperCheap Auto’s but 3 points to mention here,
1. The Penrite doesn’t conform to A5/B5
2. DPF oil is different and is a compromise to protect the DPF and regen process.
3. The recommendation is not accurate as a C1 oil for an euro 4 spec vehicle its basically wrong. MY15
