I have been using Amsoil 20/50 for over 140,000 miles. I bought the XJ with 135,000 on the Odometer and changed to Amsoil with 3,000 miles of me owning it after 3 quick oil changes with additives to loosen the gunk. It did leak some (more) oil out the seals for a while then stopped after a few thousand miles. I did change the vibration damper seal which was brittle and broke into pieces. The Amsoil label indicates that it have a high zinc content.
The oil filter is replaced every 5,000 miles+/_ and the oil changed at about 20,000 miles. The oil filter of choice is the Ford FL-1A which is larger that the OEM filter. A quart of oil is added after the filter change to bring the oil level back to the full mark. Outside of that, the XJ uses/looses no oil at all.
