2004 Jaguar XJ8 Questions & Answers

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Jaguar? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Jaguar tow?   Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. Defying your XJ8 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • How often does my XJ8 transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2004 XJ8’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Jaguar. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can Jaguar XJ8 transmission fluid leak? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Jaguar XJ8, potentially causing transmission problems.
