There are several possible reasons why oil is getting into the cylinders:
worn cylinder guides, worn valve guides, worn intake seals, worn or broken piston rings, leaking head gasket or incorrect grade of oil.

All but the last one will require engine disassembly to repair. A compression check will help identify the source of the oil leak. If you are using synthetic oil you may want to try a thicker oil such as 20W-50 to see if that is the cause.

Jaguar xj6
I would suggest replacing all fluids incl: Engine oil/filter, transmission oil/filter, differential oil, coolant flush/replace thermostat, brake fluid, and spark plugs. Some might consider this overkill, but some of these changes are ignored and can greatly shorten the life of the powertrain or brakes.

Where is the spark plug and wires located on a 95 Jaguar XJ6 model veh.? I just brought plugs & wires, and I can't seem to find where they go to. Ignition cap is not noticeable...can you help.
Thats funny. How does anyone sell you plug wires for a car that does not use wires? You need to keep out of the cheap auto parts stores. There are coils for each cylinder. The coils are under a cover at the valve covers. Be sure to use the correct spark plug. Denso 5304 or NGK 6962

My 1986 jaguar xj6 has no spark. What can I do?
check distributor, try ark the spark from the distributor to an earth in the engine bay, a bolt or something if still nothing, check the coil running to the distributor and trace the wires to the battery, a multimeter or volt meter would be very handy to see if the curcuits are good. make sure spark plugs and leads are good aswell.
