Hi

Just wondering what people's experiences are of X300 oil consumption... My X300 XJR is smoking noticeably under acceleration. The car's done 110Kmiles and has 10W/40 oil in it. This is in stark contrast to my 4.0l XJ40. Does anyone have any 4.0l oil consumption experiences to share, be they supercharged or not...?

Thanks

Pete

Mines not a 4.0l but the 3.2 so may not be what your asking... mine has now just covered 96000 mls and it doesn't smoke that I am aware of and doesn't seem to use any oil at all in between changes...

XJR's will use a little oil from experience, but it should not be visible on acceleration, I have the opposite, blue smoke on the over run!!
