Oil help needed
I have a 2000 xj classic with a 4.0, I'm currently running royal purple 10w 30 with the matching oil filter, I was using castrol edge synthetic in the black bottle, mines also a daily driver, I only use synthetic oils, what's the best brand to use?

Incidentally, it does not matter. You simply MUST use a quality oil filter.
I run Shell Rotella T6 5w40 and a WIX 51515.

Cruiser has an old manual where SAE40 grades are specified, and while that ended in North America preferring SAE30 grades for fuel economy, export markets were specified with SAE40s until production ended.
It's a tractor engine - turns out they love tractor oil!
