How Often to Change 1999 Jaguar XJ8 Oil

Need more info about 1999 Jaguar XJ8 oil changes? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. We know all about motor oil, too. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Jaguar recommends changing your 1999 XJ8’s oil at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Your XJ8 may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Jaguar recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, go off-roading a lot, or drive at low speeds for long distances. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Jaguar XJ8. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

What Kind of Oil Should I Get for My Jaguar XJ8?

Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 1999 Jaguar XJ8 motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Jaguar has specifically identified either synthetic or conventional as the best motor oil for your 1999 XJ8. Motor oil helps lubricate the engine’s moving parts, regulate engine temperature, and prevent the build-up of harmful substances within the engine. In an oil change service, a technician will change your XJ8's oil, replace and recycle your used oil and oil filter, inspect the rest of your car’s filters, top-off essential fluids, and perform a free inspection on the rest of your vehicle. You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your XJ8 by taking into account your driving preferences, and the number of miles on your odometer.

1999 Jaguar XJ8 Oil Change Questions

  • What can low oil do to my Jaguar XJ8 engine? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, engine parts can grind together, overheat, and cause your XJ8’s engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change Jaguar XJ8 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 professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Jaguar exhaust smoke gray or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, damaged piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Jaguar XJ8? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Jaguar XJ8 oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • What can cause the oil light on my Jaguar XJ8 to illuminate? Your Jaguar XJ8 oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty oil pressure sensor.
  • Do I need to change my XJ8's oil filter when I get an oil change? It's recommended that you replace your Jaguar XJ8 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.
