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 1997 XJR’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your XJR may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Jaguar recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, go off-roading a lot, or drive at low speeds for long distances. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Jaguar XJR. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.

1997 Jaguar XJR Oil Change Questions

  • What can low oil do to my Jaguar XJR engine? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, engine parts can grind together, overheat, and cause your XJR’s engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Jaguar XJR oil at home? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce 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 exhaust smoke gray or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, fried piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Jaguar XJR oil changes? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Jaguar XJR oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • Why is my Jaguar XJR oil light illuminated? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Jaguar XJR oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Does my XJR's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? You should replace your Jaguar XJR during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.
