After reading over numerous high mileage topics I still don’t have any definitive answer to the question, “why switch to a high mileage oil”.
I don’t especially think of my daily driver 2002 Jaguar XKR as being a high mileage car as it has just 175,000 miles on it over a 20 year time period. I’ve always thought of high mileage cars having 250,000 to 500,000 miles on the drivetrain.
The 4.0 L V-8 supercharged engine does not leak, and has no measurable oil consumption between oil changes. Currently using Mobil 1 0w-40 and have been since I purchased the car 4 years ago with about 116,000 miles on it.
But Mobil references the 75,000 mile mark as being high mileage. And says this on their oil comparison table:
What would a high mileage oil give me that I’m not getting now with the M-1 0w-40 ?
Thanks !
