When to Change 2006 Jaguar XJ8 Engine Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2006 Jaguar XJ8? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. We know all about motor oil, too. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Jaguar recommends changing your 2006 XJ8’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your XJ8 in the above table. No matter the mileage, your XJ8 may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Jaguar if you regularly haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, adventure off-road, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage 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.

2006 Jaguar XJ8 Oil Change Q&A

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Jaguar XJ8? 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 Jaguar XJ8 engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Jaguar oil on my own? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Jaguar XJ8 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, fried piston rings, or old 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.
  • Why is my Jaguar XJ8 oil light illuminated? The oil change light in your Jaguar XJ8 could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
  • Do I need to change my XJ8's oil filter when I get an oil change? Every time you change the oil in your Jaguar XJ8, you should also replace the oil filter. Otherwise, you risk contaminating your brand-new oil with the dirt and debris built up in your old filter.
