How hard is it to change Jaguar XJR oil at home?

Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.

How Often to Get 2001 Jaguar XJR Oil Changes

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2001 Jaguar XJR? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Your 2001 XJR’s oil should be changed according to Jaguar’s recommended oil change intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Outside of Jaguar-recommended oil change intervals, your XJR may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice an unusual amount of 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 go at low speeds on long distance trips. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Jaguar XJR. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

What Type of Oil Does My Jaguar XJR Need?

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 2001 Jaguar XJR motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Jaguar has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the ideal engine oil for your 2001 XJR.

You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your XJR by taking into account your driving habits, weather and road conditions,
