I've stuck with regular ol' Castrol GTX 5W-30 conventional oil for our S-Type. Seems to work just fine....
I watch the oil sales at Advance Auto Parts / Autozone / Pep Boys and stock up when it's on sale. With the mail-in rebates that many folks lose or never bother to send in, the stuff winds up costing me about $2.00 a quart, sometimes a little less. That's a far cry from when oil used to go for 69 cents a quart back in the late 70s, but still better than paying today's retail prices....

Never used a Purolator filters. I hate them. LOL. But really I used a Purolator One filter which is supposed to be there best filter. Well it doesnt seat the gasket all the way. You will thread it till it doesnt thread anymore and it will be bottomed out and you will seep oil out through the gasket. I will never buy another Purolator filter again. I use Wix all the way now.

I have actually refused to take the Purolator filter when they are part of an oil change special at Advance or Auto Zone. Typically you have to buy a PureOne filter and then like 5 or 6 qts of synthetic...but it's a really good deal just for the oil alone. So I'll buy the oil/filter to get the deal, and leave the filter on the counter. I don't want to just throw it away.
Been using only K&N for 6 or 7 years now on all vehicles except the SAAB, which has one of those cartridge style filters. I like the K&N's, a little more $ but seem built extremely well.

I've been on Beck-Arnley filters lately. No complaints....seems a good pc. of gear.
Have had Bosch on one of the S-Types before....far as I can tell...only diff between the two is one is black the other white....'cept the B-A comes with a li'l windshield sticker for mileage/date so away with the grease-pencil!
