Default what oil do you use in your XJ

Weather it be Castrol GTX, a high mile variant, or valvoline, what kind of oil do you fill in your XJ?

Rotella T 10w30 with a Napa Gold filter, but switching to an Amsoil 5w30 full synthetic and Amsoil 25k filter next service, because my local Amsoil rep promised to replace my motor if anything goes wrong due to the swap!

I don't know what oil was in there from the PO but I know what I am going to to put in there.

I got some Oreilly brand (mobile 1) 0w-20 full synthetic. Paired with a K&N oil filter.
