    I suspected oil starvation would be the cause, the early AJV8 engines pre2000 were known to suffer with oil starvation under track conditions. Jaguars way to fix this was later models had a different dipstick, where the Oil Min level on the revised dipstick was where the Oil Max level was on the original part. Quite a crude bit of engineering 🤣

      @AndyK.1 Před 6 měsíci +20

      Honestly first thing I thought if you're going to track it just extra litre of oil 😂. Although by 02 they'd come out with the 4.2 which was a very solid engine.
