Oil Change Q&A for Your 2005 Jaguar Vanden Plas

  • What can low oil do to my Jaguar Vanden Plas engine? 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, generate too much heat, and eventually lead to Jaguar Vanden Plas engine failure. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Jaguar oil on my own? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Jaguar Vanden Plas exhaust smoke grayish or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, damaged piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Jaguar Vanden Plas oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Jaguar Vanden Plas oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • What can cause the oil light on my Jaguar Vanden Plas to illuminate? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Jaguar Vanden Plas oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Jaguar Vanden Plas? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Jaguar Vanden Plas every time you change the oil.
