What kind of oil should I put in my XJ engine?
There is no point in putting very thin, exotic synthetic oils such as Mobil 0-10 in the XJ engines. The engine will be noisier and leak more. There is no great harm in mixing fresh oil, so while all V12 engines will leave KWE with 20-50 in them topping up with 10-40, 10-50 or 10-60 is acceptable if 20-50 can’t be found.
What kind of oil does a Jaguar AJ16 use?
The Jaguar manual shows 5W-50 oil as being satisfactory for the AJ16. There is another important factor to consider in oils (amongst many). Oils’ second-order properties are graded, usually by the American Petroleum Institute’s API nomenclature. Without getting into the chemistry, the later in the alphabet the coding is, the better quality the oil.
What kind of oil does a Jaguar V12 take?
The Jaguar V12 engine and all 6 cylinder engines before the AJ6 engine of 1980’s vintage needed quite a thick oil – usually 20W-50 – partly because the engineering tolerances were not so close as they are today with modern manufacturing methods, and one needed a good thick oil to fill up those tolerances.

What kind of oil pressure does a 5.3L JAG have?
Visit the Jag Lovers homepage at http://www.jag-lovers.org for exciting services and resources including Photo Albums, Event Diary / Calendar, On Line Books and more ! The 5.3L is notorious for low idle oil pressure.
What is idle oil pressure on a 5.3L?
The 5.3L is notorious for low idle oil pressure. The gauges are not always accurate. For example, I just replaced the transmitter with a brand new one and managed to even find a “new old stock” gauge. At start up of cold engine it shows about 75 and settles down to about 25 when warmed up.

How often should I Change my Jaguar XJS engine?
At every service, apply injector/fuel system cleaner, then check the idle speed, which should be 750±25 rpm. Engine oil: Ideally, change the oil and renew the filter at least every 3000 miles or annually (whichever comes first), having first taken the car for a run to warm the oil and aid flow from the sump.The sump plug requires a 7/8in.
What kind of oil do I put in my AJ6 engine?
The AJ6 and 16 engines are happy with 10-40 in UK climate, but a worn engine will benefit from 20-50. The late 6 litre V12 is better made than the earlier 5.3 so can use 10-40 oil, but the reduction in friction is tiny compared with the massive friction of 12 pistons so there’s no real advantage to be gained.
What kind of oil does a 6 Litre car use?
The late 6 litre V12 is better made than the earlier 5.3 so can use 10-40 oil, but the reduction in friction is tiny compared with the massive friction of 12 pistons so there’s no real advantage to be gained. Castrol offers a high quality 10-60 mineral oil and this is fine for the V12.
