Thanks everyone. I haven't checked with a mechanical gauge but will do as soon as I can get over to an auto parts store. I'm also going to throw in some 10W-40 oil either way just since it sounds like the 4.0s like it more anyway. I definitely may try the HV oil pump; it's spent the past 1.5...

Damn. Yall arent telling me what i wanted to hear haha. Anyone got an estimate on how long my engine will last with a heavier oil?

So any idea if yours was the heads or the bearings?

Well dang that's not comforting haha. Guess I'll just start pulling parts off and seeing if I can find a crack in the radiator I didn't see before or something.

So I've had my 2000 XJ (4.0L Auto) for about 2 months now and while I love it I'm afraid I've got a bit of a lemon. Earlier this week "Check Gauges" light came on for a bit, but all gauges seemed normal and the light quickly went off. However, when on the highway today the light came on and I...
