Just wanted to pop in and say hello. I just purchased a 2000 S type for my wife, but I am enjoying it as well. It's our first Jag (nearly bought a new 66 BRG XKE 40 years ago, I still kick myself). My daily driver is a 2004 MINI Cooper S, so we are 100% british now. I would like to know if anyone recommends 100% synthetic oil in the 3.0? Our Jag only has 33K miles and I am using synthetic in the MINI with good results with our heat. Thanks.
