What to Know About 2012 Jaguar XJ Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Jaguar XJ and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your XJ. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get XJ maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Just follow your 2012 Jaguar XJ maintenance schedule!

Jaguar knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. 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 tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your XJ perform better, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2012 Jaguar XJ problems in the future.

Overview of Essential Jaguar XJ Maintenance Needs

Bring your 2012 Jaguar XJ to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your XJ's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 2012 Jaguar XJ be ready for a new battery? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and 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. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Jaguar XJ 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 XJ) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Jaguar XJ won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 2012 Jaguar XJ's engine run smoother. To learn how often Jaguar recommends you have the oil changed in your 2012 XJ, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2012 Jaguar XJ.

Routine upkeep for your Jaguar XJ suspension and steering system can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, provide Jaguar XJ steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. Components within your Jaguar XJ's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended Jaguar XJ services, you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. Don’t sweat it, though! Our technicians can take care of those issues, too. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we have what it takes to provide top-notch service for your Jaguar XJ engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning. Need a new Jaguar XJ radiator? We got it. Is your A/C blowing hot air? We'll fix it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your spot for 2012 Jaguar XJ maintenance.

So visit us regularly, or visit us urgently. Many locations are open on weekends and in the evening.
