Always choose oil that meets Jaguar39;s specification for this engine, regardless of base type. Our advisors can help you select the correct product when you schedule an appointment.
- Full synthetic: best oxidation resistance and low-temperature flow
- Synthetic blend: cost/performance compromise
- Conventional: use only if it meets the OEM spec in the manual
