When to Change 1994 Jaguar XJ12 Engine Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Jaguar XJ12’s oil changed? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. 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 1994 XJ12’s oil at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Outside of Jaguar-recommended oil change intervals, your XJ12 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Jaguar recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Jaguar XJ12. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

1994 Jaguar XJ12 Oil Change Questions

  • Should I check my Jaguar XJ12 motor oil level? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, these components can grind against each other, overheat, and eventually lead to Jaguar XJ12 engine failure. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Jaguar XJ12 oil at home? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Jaguar exhaust smoke gray 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 the result of worn valve seals, fried piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who does Jaguar XJ12 oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Jaguar XJ12 oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • Why is the oil light on in my Jaguar XJ12? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Jaguar XJ12 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.
  • Does my XJ12's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? It's recommended that you replace your Jaguar XJ12 oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.
