Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my X-Type?

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2003 Jaguar X-Type, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Jaguar's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
