Oil Changes for 2012 Jaguar XJ

Not sure how or where to get your Jaguar XJ’s oil changed? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Jaguar recommends changing your 2012 XJ’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your XJ in the above table. No matter the mileage, your XJ may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Jaguar if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, enjoy off-roading, or go long distances at low speeds. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Jaguar XJ. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 2012 Jaguar XJ motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Jaguar has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the best motor oil for your 2012 XJ. Motor oil helps lubricate the engine’s moving parts, keep the engine cool, and prevent harmful substances from accumulating in the engine. During an oil change, a technician will change your XJ's oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, inspect the rest of your car’s filters, top-off essential fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle. You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your XJ by taking into account your driving habits, weather and road conditions,
