New Oil choices for 5.0
What do you guys think about 4 new choices for oil now available in USA.
They all meet the current Jaguar spec for 5.0 engine

Thoughts, advise, warnings, ridicule, all welcome.
Castrol has become harder to find.

For Fuch's sakes guys.
Did not even bring up Fuchs Motor Oil which was the 5th choice as I knew the group would snicker.

Have my eye on Jacco
Cant find Castrol- this is serious

I'm glad to see there are other possibilities available. I'm on a road trip at the moment and will visit a Jag dealer in Memphis to pick up a Castrol supply. I'll be looking to see comments about one of these as a possibility in any case though. Just changed oil the other day so I've got tons of time to read what the group comes up with.

$8 is a fantastic price or any POA based oil.

Shemp,
Yes they silently went to it.

(I agree that it was a step in the right direction, there was an issue of oil not flowing fast enough to the chain tensioner on startup)

No they are the same money, the older spec is the one harder to find and most likely old stock.

I.e. it becomes same as 10w-20 after a while- which was causing complaints
You want the 0w in an XKRS that does not see winters- only so as to keep up with Jags latest advancements. (there are other things updated besides the viscosity)

I agree, and also what keeps the gears going inside my head is that part of the reason I have seen touted for the "0" is due to the tight tolerances of the 5.0...so what about as these engines age and wear with higher mileage. Wouldn't a 0 weight be detrimental vs a 5 weight with higher mileage above say 75K miles?

When the engine has warmed up to normal operating temperature, what difference does it make if it's filled with either 0W-20 or 5W-20? They're the same 20W viscosity when warm.
And I disagree with Q&C's conclusion that "they're both the same money". That depends on where you are. Prices vary by location.
