Jaguar Oil Maintenance

Why is it important to change the oil in your Jaguar?

A major role of engine oil is to provide lubrication for critical engine components in your Jaguar. Preventing friction reduces heat build-up which helps extend the life of your engine. If your vehicle goes through long periods without an oil change, grime and corrosive deposits will build up in the engine and increase potential damage and future problems. Proper oil maintenance will help maximize fuel efficiency, maintain performance and ensure your engine continues to provide years of reliable service.

How often should you change the oil in your Jaguar?

Jaguar recommends one annual scheduled maintenance service which includes getting your oil changed. The recommended mileage for that annual service varies by models, so we recommend you refer to your owner’s manual for exact maintenance mileage-intervals. It’s important to consider additional factors that impact oil life such as stop-and-go driving, driving off-road and high-speed driving. These factors may contribute to more frequent oil changes which is why regularly changing the oil in your Jaguar is critical to the life of your engine.
