How Often to Get 1989 Jaguar XJ6 Oil Changes

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 1989 Jaguar XJ6? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond 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.

Your 1989 XJ6’s oil should be changed according to Jaguar’s recommended oil change 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 knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Jaguar if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, adventure off-road, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Jaguar XJ6. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

What Type of Oil Does My Jaguar XJ6 Need?

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 1989 Jaguar XJ6 motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Jaguar has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the ideal engine oil for your 1989 XJ6. This oil helps lubricate engine parts, maintain proper engine temperature, and keep harmful substances from building up inside the engine. In an oil change service, one of our techs will change your XJ6’s oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, check all of your other filters, refill vital car fluids, and perform a free inspection on the rest of your vehicle. You can drive easy knowing that we strive to do what's best for your vehicle and take into account your driving preferences, and mileage.

1989 Jaguar XJ6 Oil Change Q&A

  • What can low oil do to my Jaguar XJ6 engine? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, generate excess heat, and cause your Jaguar XJ6 engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Jaguar oil on my own? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Jaguar XJ6 exhaust smoke grayish or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of 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 can change the oil on my Jaguar XJ6? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Jaguar XJ6 oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • Why is my Jaguar XJ6 oil light illuminated? The oil change light in your Jaguar XJ6 could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
  • Do I need to replace my XJ6’s oil filter when changing my oil? Every time you change the oil in your Jaguar XJ6, you should also replace the oil filter. Otherwise, you risk contaminating your brand-new oil with the dirt and debris built up in your old filter.
