oil change ????
Good morning guys, It's oil change time. I have a 2009 Jag XK 4.2L with low miles (20k) meticulously taken care of. I am wondering if its ok to use Mobil 1 synthetic 5-30? Ive heard that 0-20 is recommended but for the life of me I cant see 5-30 synthetic doing any harm. I know these cars are very finicky about certain things. Thanks guys

For me it's about originality and pride of ownership. Seeing an OEM filter means the owner wanted it done correct. I try to stick with the OEM tires on cars unless there is a really compelling reason another tire is "better".

I notice that the Jaguar-packaged oil filter for the 5.0 engines is made in China. Now that puts me off even though it could well be as good a product as well known brands produce. As my filters don't stay in service that long due to such low mileages I'm doing at the moment, I expect any filter from a known brand should be perfectly acceptable.
With tyres, I try and find better ones each time I have to change as tyres are a moving target and today's tyres are a lot better than those from 10 years ago.
