This is the 4.2l AJ V8, and its my understanding that the lincoln motor and these are different motors. I think the only parts they share are the chain tensioners... But the AJ family is all essentially one motor so to speak. Ford specifies the 5w20 in almost all theirs motor IIRC and IDK much...

so I bought Mobil1 15w50 "race" oil for the Jaguar... With the weather so hot and humid lately it seems like the motor and everything around it is VERY hot. My coolant was flushed twice last summer, and the temperature readout is normal, so it seems the car is just running very hot. This oil...

Im still trying to get over the 3k oil change. The furthest I made it was just recently on my honda, 3,9xx miles. The OLM was at 10% though, so Im sure it was changed accordingly. Im in NYC and man is this place hard on a vehicle... just saying. Oh and no worries on stating the obvious, you...

IDK what the big deal is, Im new to posting here but it seems like you have a few options... Go by what they say if you want the warranty. If you dont want the warranty go by what you want to. and if your disgusted by their warranty requirements, dont buy the oil. Its pretty simple thinking...

Whats RLI ?

doesnt oil get bad just laying around for a few years ? I buy as I need also, currently I have 2 quarts PP 5w30 left over from my Jaguars change. And I also I 4 qts if a mix of oils I had, 2 quarts leftover MC 5w20blend + 1.75 qts Castrol HM 5w30 + 1/2 qts "strauss" 5w30 synthetic. Thats going...

yes fun lols, well I thought about it some more and in a months or so Im going to order a new transmission pan. I've done quite alot of short OCI on the transmission since I purchased the car. Now that only new oil comes out on the drain Im due to change the pan. at that time I will change the...

yes it was doing it when the car would sit overnight at cold startup in the morning. It wasnt even too cold out but still did it, now I dont have that problem and I dont remember it doing it with the jaguar filter. I think I may switch over to german castrol at 85k, win youve been around longer...

I was getting a chain rattle with the STP filter, 2 of them. They fit onto the Jag but I dont think their antidrain back valves work the way they are supposed to on the specific one. I dont get it with the puralator and Ive used 2 of them so far. Gene K, Thanks for the reply Ive read the manual...

I diy my oilchange and dont have an extractor I think Im done using the MMO, but may continue using it as I did like the way it worked with the oil. Smoothened it out some, and yes, did darken the oil so it actually does help with the cleaning. Honestly I dont want to go back to non synth, I...

I guess Im doing it wrong then lols. only when it sat for a while(like over night) can I get an accurate reading. Even if it sat for a few hours I guess there still oil on the dipstick. Ive been to jaglovers and they had great information for my 2000 xj, but not so much activity on the newer...

lol thanks mann ! no its not smoking, burning, or on its last whim. Its actually very responsive and was so from day one. I do have a 2010 honda civic to take my daily pounding here in the city so I dont worry about that much. But the JAG is expensive and I want it to last forever, I dont want...

ok went back and reviewed my Original thread. all grades are 5w30 blend. @ 70k I poured in castrol syntec, 73,500 miles I added 1/2 qt MMO @ 74k I poured castrol gtx highmileage , 8 oz mmo last 300 miles @ 76.8k I poured penzoil platinum So I reread through that thread and I got the correct...

what makes oil level reading difficult on this car (as are many other things) is that the dipstick housing is literally as wide as the dipstick. so when I pull it out,wipe it clean, dip and pull out to read --> oil smear on the stick and make it hard to read. This time before I topped out...

HangerHarley, I really appreciate your reply ! I stopped the MMO in the oil 2 changes ago. Felt it did plenty plus the weather started to warm up so I passed on it. I did check the oil in the morning this time around, it was halfway between low and full. It then took just almost 3/4 quarts in...

crazyoildude, I understand that much. Im asking if this oil can hold a high particle/soot count without being .for lack of a better word, saturated. So in your opinion, can I run this oil for 7500 miles with almost 2 quarts of makeup oil and a new filter in the middle ? or should I drain the...

I used the MMO on before I used the high mileage oil, now Im on PP. Think the additives in the PP, and whatever was left from the HM oil, on top of the MMO is contributing to this ? IDK that seems confusing. On the Edge, with 2500 miles I think , the oil was a mild brown. add MMO and 5-600...

The reason I have 2 posts is because on the first one, the page kept bugging out and scrolling and wouldnt let me type anymore. hence a second post thats a continuation of post 1. anyhow heres a link that I have timelined posts on with everything I did engine oil wise...

I just added almost 3/4 of a quart yesterday. It may have consumed some, may not. I dont think I topped it off proper because the oil level is hard to read on this car. my plan was to change the oil filter at 81k, then top off with another 1+ qt of the 5w30 and run the oil to 85k miles so that...

Hey all, I have a 2004 Jaguar XJ8 with 78,350 miles to be exact. Bought it last August with 69k miles. Ive gone ahead and changed all its fluids, a few times just to get that over with. Now to the motor oil. When I got it I put Castrol Syntec 5w30, kept it in for 2 or 3 thousand miles. Changed...
