re synthetic oil ...many posts over the years....
stating DO NOT USE SYNTHETIC OIL

 

That restriction was lifted in 2003.

 

did not know this...... .thanks

applies to all models? eg x series 2002?

 

According to the tech. I read some time ago, the synthetic oil would be better pure petrol oil.

 

confusing.........think if you change do not change back?

Sorry don't quite understand. Do not change back what? And why?

 

Only the X-type with 6 cyl engines had this restriction in the first place. No other Jag. The 'no synthetic' message in the owners manual disappeared in 2003. Nobody really knows why it was there in the first place.

There is no benefit using synthetic in place of regular oil unless you plan to extend the change interval.
