Oil, if it says #W-##, it'll work.
Use the brand you are confident with. Choose the proper weight for your climate. Synthetic vs conventional has its advantages and disadvantages. Lots of good info out there to sway you one way or the other. Sorry, but it won't be here.
There is a thread in the XK8/R area that simply asks 'what type and what weight'. That is all we allow these days. When you ask which is best, then the topic becomes taboo.
IBTL...thats a good one.

David... Follow the suggested weight that is listed in the owners manual...
Beyond that it is all about choice. Use what you like. There is no "special magical Jaguar oil". Not so with the trans, though...
I just had to say it....

All in good fun my friend, I'm clearly joking seeing as people defend motor oils and other fluids like they would their first born. People need to lighten up a tad.

EDIT: Ooppps I double posted, sorry, must be all that excitement after I just pulled away from a F-150 on the highway from a 70MPH roll...
