Jaguar recommends changing your 2002 Vanden Plas’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above.

Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, overheat, and cause your Vanden Plas’s 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? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Jaguar Vanden Plas exhaust smoke grayish 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. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, fried piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
