1986 Jaguar XJ6 Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Jaguar XJ6 to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your XJ6. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your XJ6, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1986 Jaguar XJ6!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Jaguar, your vehicle manufacturer. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your XJ6 perform better, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1986 Jaguar XJ6 problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1986 Jaguar XJ6 for factory-recommended routine maintenance 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your XJ6. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1986 Jaguar XJ6? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your XJ6 may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Jaguar XJ6 battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty XJ6) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Jaguar XJ6 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1986 Jaguar XJ6 engine. See Jaguar's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1986 XJ6 in the chart at the top of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1986 Jaguar XJ6.

Routine upkeep for your Jaguar XJ6 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 XJ6 steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Jaguar XJ6's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended Jaguar XJ6 services, you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally. A damaged A/C system is never fun, and an overheated engine can cause significant issues (like a total car breakdown!). Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Jaguar XJ6 cooling, heating, and climate control system. Is your Jaguar XJ6 radiator in need of replacement? We can take care of that. A/C smelling musty? We'll fix it.
