Jaguar recommends changing your 1987 Vanden Plas’s oil at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Outside of Jaguar-recommended oil change intervals, your Vanden Plas may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the car, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Jaguar recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, 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. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

What Kind of Oil Should I Get for My Jaguar Vanden Plas?

This oil helps lubricate engine parts, keep the engine cool, and keep harmful substances from building up inside the engine.

You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your Vanden Plas by taking into account your driving preferences, and mileage.
