Oil Brand/weight opinions

I need advise on oil brands/ weight...
My Jag has the AJ16 engine w/ 125k miles and thinking about using Mobile 1 HM 5w30. The temp in my area has one month over 100˚ F and rarely drops below 25˚F. Gaskets and seals are always a concern in older cars and I plan on driving between 3k - 7 miles per year...
There seems to be many opinions out there, what's your thoughts on oil and filters?
Spring is here, time to drop the top,

The engine doesn't require anything exotic but many owners treat their Jags to a highly rarified diet. Can't hurt, might help, feels good. ![Smile](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I use whatever name brand is on sale that day.
Some owners (including me) lean towards a bit heavier viscosity as the miles creep up. I started using 10/40 at about 100k miles or so.
For filters I use Jaguar OEM, WIX, Bosch, AC Delco.....
