1997 Jaguar XJR Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Jaguar XJR, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, your XJR has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. But how do you know what service to get and when? It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine XJR maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1997 Jaguar XJR!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Jaguar, your vehicle manufacturer. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your XJR running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 1997 Jaguar XJR problems.

Bring your 1997 Jaguar XJR to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your XJR's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 1997 Jaguar XJR be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Jaguar XJR battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty XJR) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Jaguar XJR won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1997 Jaguar XJR engine. To learn how often Jaguar recommends you have the oil changed in your 1997 XJR, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1997 Jaguar XJR? We can help with that, too!

Periodic service to the steering system in your Jaguar XJR can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, perform Jaguar XJR suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Jaguar XJR's steering and suspension system.
