Should I check my Jaguar S-Type motor oil level?

Can I change my Jaguar S-Type oil at home?

First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also help your car perform down the road.

Do I need to change my S-Type's oil filter when I get an oil change?

Jaguar recommends changing your 2004 S-Type’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your S-Type in the above table. Outside of Jaguar-recommended oil change intervals, your S-Type may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Jaguar if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, adventure off-road, or drive at low speeds for long distances. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Jaguar S-Type. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
