Ok to add 1 quart regular oil to synthetic?
Opps can't edit headers iol = oil.
I should know this but can't remember and figured I'd ask a quick question.
Last oil change got Mobil 1. Just looked she is down a quart. I have nonsynthetic in my garage no Mobil1 around. Is it OK to put a quart in for another 2,000 miles?
Thanks
John

Neither of my previous 4.0 litre Jaguars (2000 XJ8, 2001 XK8) or 4.2 litre (2005 XK8, and current 2007 XK) have used any significant oil between changes.
A US quart (0.95 litres) seems a lot to use in 10k miles. Even more so if you do your changes on a time rather than mileage basis.

I came the Forum today to find out whether I should use regular or synthetic oil. I tried to find out from the previous place the owner had taken it to with no luck 2003 Jaguar XK8. I called a Jaguar dealer and they said just use 10-30 motor oil which surprised me. Can anyone look or feel oil to see if it is synthetic or not ? Anyway went and got a regular change and lube job as well. I wanted to know what the previous owner was using because...wait for it... my car just hit 183,000 miles !!!!!!
