1998 Jaguar XJ8 Maintenance

When it comes to your Jaguar XJ8, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, your XJ8 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your XJ8, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1998 Jaguar XJ8!

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. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your XJ8's life, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1998 Jaguar XJ8 problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1998 Jaguar XJ8 and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your XJ8. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1998 Jaguar XJ8. 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). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your XJ8 may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Jaguar XJ8 battery, and so can frequent short drives. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your XJ8 stranded. Your Jaguar XJ8 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.
