After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Jaguar recommends having your 1993 Jaguar Vanden Plas’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. 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 vehicle, 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 terrain, go off-roading a lot, or go long distances at low speeds. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage 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.
