1988 Jaguar XJ6 Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Jaguar XJ6 to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, your XJ6 has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. But how do you know what service to get and when? It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine XJ6 maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1988 Jaguar XJ6!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Jaguar themselves. 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 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, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1988 Jaguar XJ6 problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1988 Jaguar XJ6 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your XJ6's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 1988 Jaguar XJ6 be ready for a new battery? 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. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Jaguar XJ6 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1988 Jaguar XJ6 engine. See Jaguar's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1988 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. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1988 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. That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, provide the appropriate Jaguar XJ6 steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. 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 (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. 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. Need a new Jaguar XJ6 radiator? We got it. A/C smelling musty? We'll fix it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your spot for 1988 Jaguar XJ6 maintenance.
