Your 2003 S-Type’s oil should be changed according to Jaguar’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your S-Type in the above table. Your S-Type may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Jaguar recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, go off-roading a lot, or drive at low speeds for long distances. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Jaguar S-Type. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 2003 Jaguar S-Type

  • What can low oil do to my Jaguar S-Type engine? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, these components can grind against each other, generate excess heat, and cause your Jaguar S-Type engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • How hard is it to change Jaguar S-Type oil at home? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Jaguar S-Type spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, damaged piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Who does Jaguar S-Type oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Jaguar S-Type oil changes.

  • Why is my Jaguar S-Type oil light illuminated? The oil change light in your Jaguar S-Type could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
  • Does my S-Type's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? You should replace your Jaguar S-Type during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.
