Should I check my Jaguar XJ8 motor oil level?

Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, these components can grind against each other, generate excess heat, 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?

Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.

Why is my Jaguar XJ8 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?
