How often should I come in for Jaguar XJ8 differential service?

We generally recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your XJ8's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1999 Jaguar XJ8, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Jaguar's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
