Wait, whut?

hahaha
Yeah those XG-2 filters just keep eating oil !!!

What I find strange is Ford only ever specify a 5w30 oil for that motor in the UK with 12,500mile/12 month OCI.
What do Jaguar specify for that engine in their cars in the US?
I consider this whenever I hear about a "factory" oil recommendation. AS far as I can tell the climate in the UK is about the same as southern New England.
Oh FFS it has over 160K on it. Really?

So what are the results?
I got the mileage wrong earlier. 1500 miles on oil and down 1/4" from top fill hole. I also discovered that I've got some oil underneath so i need to rule out drain plug as the source.
So that's 1qt/6000 miles....nothing to lose any sleep or netspeak over.
It does tell me that the pcv did need to be changed. Now I just have to nail down where the leak is.
I'd take 1 qt in 3K any day of the week on my aging fleet

If it was a beater I would too. But it's a nice car and it's paid for. I know I'm being fussy, but hey it's my stuff. I want it right, not just good enough.

Mine are not beaters either, just high mileage. That's why we still have them. JAG XJ6, Big Bronco, F-150 4x4, Saab 9-5 2.3t. All but the F-150 are way past 150,000. Most are using a qt at around 2,500 and change at 5K.
I understand your desire. I like nice clean cars too. If the seeps and weeps are easy enough, OK I'll fix them. But, like the tranny electrical plug on the XJ6 - now un-obtanium and it's weeping. There is no fix
So we just have to add oil and think about a replacement someday ...

Valvoline Maxlife 10W-30 FTW and the best compromise.
Bumping a 5 year old thread FTW
Use the oil that went 6000 on 1 quart.
