Jaguar recommends having your 1988 Jaguar XJ6’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Outside of Jaguar-recommended oil change intervals, your XJ6 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, 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, frequent dusty roads, enjoy off-roading, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Jaguar XJ6. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.

1988 Jaguar XJ6 Oil Change Questions

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Jaguar XJ6? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and eventually lead to Jaguar XJ6 engine failure. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change Jaguar XJ6 oil at home? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce 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. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, blown piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Jaguar XJ6 oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Jaguar XJ6 oil changes. In addition to changing your oil, our experienced technicians also perform oil filter replacements, troubleshoot oil leaks, and suggest the correct oil to help keep your engine performing its best.
  • Why is my Jaguar XJ6 oil light illuminated? Your Jaguar XJ6 oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.
  • Does my XJ6's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? It's recommended that you replace your Jaguar XJ6 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.
