I would like some input from the board on 5W-50 Castrol Syn. for my XKE V12.
I now use Rotella Syn. 5W-40 in the Jag. But Rotella Syn. keeps moving up in price. $22/gal. and it takes 3gals per oil change.
This car is only driven about 1,000 miles per year. A XKE V12 runs a little on the warm side so a good syn. oil is a must for my car. The car has 26,000 miles on it.
I have a chance to to buy Castrol Syn. 5W-50 for $12/gal. The owners manual from 1973 says to use 20W-50 oil in warm weather.
So what do you guys think on the Castrol?
Thanks,
