It's time to do an oil change, and I was wondering if anyone could recommend to me a type of specific oil to use, or a specific filter? I've got an 1989 Xj6 with 40,364 miles.

oil filter, use the Jaguar filter. get it at any Jaguar dealership.

for oil, the 4.2 engine requires Castrol 20W50, I don't know what
oil is required for the XJ-40 engine. Best to check with the Owner's
Handbook or at the Jaguar dealership too.

You DO have an Owner's Handbook, right?

Use 20/50W oil. When I was at a shop with emissions testing they will not pass on a 10/?W oil.
