[Lead Shoes]

Mobil 1 0w40 once a year will be perfect for your application

I use M1 10/30 in the 6 litre V12 in my Xj12, whatever synthetic 5/30 I can get on sale in the V8 in the Xj8, and when I had Xj's with the straight 6 AJ6 engine, I used 10/30. 50 weight oil is unnecessary.

I've had a lot of Jaguars, and they are not picky about oil. Congrats on your XJR.
