1989 Jaguar Vanden Plas Oil Change Questions

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Jaguar Vanden Plas? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, these components can grind against each other, overheat, and cause your Jaguar Vanden Plas engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • Can I change my Jaguar oil on my own? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. 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 exhaust smoke gray or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, blown piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Jaguar Vanden Plas oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Jaguar Vanden Plas oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • What can cause the oil light on my Jaguar Vanden Plas to illuminate? Your Jaguar Vanden Plas oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.
  • Does my Vanden Plas's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? 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.
