Can I use synthetic oil in my 2023 Land Rover Defender?
Yes. 0W-20 is widely available as a full synthetic, and synthetic is safe (often recommended) for the 2023 Land Rover Defender. What matters most is matching the factory viscosity and specification, then changing the oil and filter on schedule.
