How does Jaguar drivetrain maintenance help save money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

What are signs my Jaguar drivetrain is damaged?

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

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician.

Can you reset your XJ8’s malfunction warning light at home?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your XJ8’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems. You should find and address the underlying issue to help keep your vehicle in great shape.

All About 2007 Jaguar XJ8 Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your XJ8's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It's one of the most complex systems in your XJ8 and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2007 Jaguar XJ8, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Jaguar's recommendations.
