1998 Jaguar XJR Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Jaguar XJR, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper 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? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your XJR, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 1998 Jaguar XJR maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Jaguar, your vehicle manufacturer. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your XJR perform better, increase your vehicle safety, and prevent common 1998 Jaguar XJR problems.

Bring your 1998 Jaguar XJR to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. 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.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1998 Jaguar XJR. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your XJR may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Jaguar XJR battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Jaguar XJR won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 1998 Jaguar XJR's engine run smoother. To learn how often Jaguar recommends you have the oil changed in your 1998 XJR, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1998 Jaguar XJR.

Routine upkeep for your Jaguar XJR suspension and steering system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, provide the appropriate Jaguar XJR steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. 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.

If you fall behind on routine Jaguar XJR maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally!
