Your 1986 Vanden Plas’s oil should be changed according to Jaguar’s recommended oil change intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Your Vanden Plas may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Jaguar if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, adventure off-road, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Jaguar Vanden Plas. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

1986 Jaguar Vanden Plas Oil Change Q&A

  • Should I check my Jaguar Vanden Plas motor oil level? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, engine parts can grind together, overheat, and eventually lead to Jaguar Vanden Plas engine failure. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change Jaguar Vanden Plas oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Jaguar Vanden Plas spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, blown piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Jaguar Vanden Plas? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Jaguar Vanden Plas oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • Why is my Jaguar Vanden Plas oil light illuminated? The oil change light in your Jaguar Vanden Plas 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.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Jaguar Vanden Plas? Every time you change the oil in your Jaguar Vanden Plas, you should also replace the oil filter. Otherwise, you risk contaminating your brand-new oil with the dirt and debris built up in your old filter.
