Appears it's not obvious...

RTFM = Read the F***ing Manual. It's that book that comes with the car. Has all sorts of useful information regarding specs, maintenance, and how the car works.

Surprisingly, some people never open it. I have friends with BMWs that never knew that they had features like rain-sensing wipers (and thus did not know how to use) or what the "A" means on the a/c unit. The manual may be big, but worth the read.

You can go to Castrol UK (for diesel) website. Enter the vehicle, make, model, and engine type and they will provide the recommend oil to use and how much.
