Jaguar recommends having your 1996 Jaguar XJ6’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your XJ6 in the above table. No matter the mileage, your XJ6 may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, 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 areas, go off-roading a lot, or go long distances at low speeds. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage 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’s the Right Type of Oil for 1996 Jaguar XJ6?

Whether it’s synthetic, conventional, or a blend of both — your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right oil for your Jaguar XJ6. Jaguar has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the best motor oil for your 1996 XJ6. This oil helps lubricate engine parts, regulate engine temperature, and keep harmful substances from building up inside the engine. During an oil change, a technician will change your XJ6's oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, inspect the rest of your car’s filters, refill vital car fluids, and perform a courtesy inspection on your entire vehicle. You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your XJ6 by taking into account your driving preferences, and mileage.

1996 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 excess heat, and cause your XJ6’s engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Jaguar XJ6 oil at home? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. 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? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, fried piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Jaguar XJ6? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Jaguar XJ6 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 XJ6? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Jaguar XJ6 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.
  • Do I need to replace my XJ6’s oil filter when changing my oil? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Jaguar XJ6 every time you change the oil. After all, what’s the point of changing our oil if you’re just going to send fresh, clean engine oil through an already dirty filter?
