2003 Jaguar S-Type Maintenance

Take care of your Jaguar S-Type and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, your S-Type has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your S-Type, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2003 Jaguar S-Type!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Jaguar, your vehicle manufacturer. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your S-Type running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2003 Jaguar S-Type problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2003 Jaguar S-Type for factory-recommended routine maintenance and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your S-Type’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2003 Jaguar S-Type? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your S-Type may need a replacement battery sooner. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Jaguar S-Type battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your S-Type stranded. Your Jaguar S-Type won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 2003 Jaguar S-Type's engine run smoother. See Jaguar's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2003 S-Type in the chart at the top of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2003 Jaguar S-Type? We can help with that, too!

Maintaining your Jaguar S-Type steering and suspension system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, perform Jaguar S-Type suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Components within your Jaguar S-Type's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended Jaguar S-Type services, you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Jaguar S-Type cooling, heating, and climate control system. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Jaguar S-Type? We got it. Is your A/C blowing hot air? We’re on it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is the place to go for 2003 Jaguar S-Type maintenance.
