Yes the 3.0tdv6 requires the right spec oil
It is avaliable from opie oils and shell.
Jag dealers are the best source.
Stupid thing to have to do though!

The Jaguar 5.0 litre engine in my XK (same / similar as 5.0 litre in Disco) needs Castrol 5W-20 engine oil, meeting
specification WSS M2C925-A. I have only been able to get this Castrol oil from a Jaguar dealer....have a look for 5W-20 oil - I drew a blank in finding it...& I have looked far & wide
Would you take the risk of putting something equivalent or close to equivalent in & if not spoiling the engine - reducing its life? BREXIT - done properly.
