1997 Jaguar XJ6 Maintenance

When it comes to your Jaguar XJ6, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, your XJ6 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine XJ6 maintenance. Just follow your 1997 Jaguar XJ6 maintenance schedule!

Jaguar knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. 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; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your XJ6 running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1997 Jaguar XJ6 problems later.

Bring your 1997 Jaguar XJ6 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your XJ6’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 1997 Jaguar XJ6 be ready for a new battery? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the 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! 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.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 1997 Jaguar XJ6's engine run smoother. See Jaguar's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1997 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. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1997 Jaguar XJ6? We can help with that, too!

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.
