How often should I service my 1998 Jaguar Vanden Plas?

Here’s Why 1998 Jaguar Vanden Plas Scheduled Maintenance Matters

You want your Jaguar Vanden Plas to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Vanden Plas could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get Vanden Plas maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Just follow your 1998 Jaguar Vanden Plas maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Jaguar, your vehicle manufacturer. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Vanden Plas's life, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1998 Jaguar Vanden Plas problems in the future.

Essential Maintenance to Keep Your Jaguar Vanden Plas Running Newer, Longer

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1998 Jaguar Vanden Plas for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Vanden Plas’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1998 Jaguar Vanden Plas. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Jaguar Vanden Plas battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Vanden Plas) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Jaguar Vanden Plas won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 1998 Jaguar Vanden Plas's engine run smoother. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1998 Vanden Plas. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1998 Jaguar Vanden Plas? We can help with that, too!

Maintaining your Jaguar Vanden Plas steering and suspension system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, perform Jaguar Vanden Plas suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Jaguar Vanden Plas's steering and suspension system.

Without routine Jaguar Vanden Plas maintenance, you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally! A malfunctioning A/C system or overheating engine can wreak havoc on your car.

1998 Jaguar Vanden Plas Maintenance Questions

Take an active role in maintaining your 1998 Jaguar Vanden Plas. Get answers to common Jaguar Vanden Plas maintenance questions and learn more about caring for your vehicle.

  • What do I do if I hit a pothole in my Jaguar Vanden Plas? Check your car for pothole damage! If you’ve recently hit a pothole (or even if you don’t remember hitting one… they can be sneaky!) check your tire treads, tire sidewalls, and wheels for damage. Potholes can also knock your car out of alignment, so have your alignment checked if you suspect you’ve driven over a rough patch of road lately.
  • When should I switch my Jaguar Vanden Plas to high mileage oil? If your Jaguar Vanden Plas has ticked past 75,000 miles, consider switching to high mileage oil at your next oil change to give your engine what it needs to go another 75,000 (or more!). High mileage oil: make it a high priority!
  • Can Jaguar dashboard warning lights wait? Don't ignore dashboard warning lights! Bring your Jaguar Vanden Plas in for a diagnostic code scan as soon as a dashboard warning light flashes on, whether it's your check engine or battery light. Dashboard lights alert you to trouble under the hood.
