What to Know About 2002 Jaguar XJR Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Jaguar XJR and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your XJR. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. 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 2002 Jaguar XJR!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Jaguar themselves. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. 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 maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2002 Jaguar XJR problems in the future.

Essential Maintenance to Keep Your Jaguar XJR Running Newer, Longer

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2002 Jaguar XJR 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your XJR. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2002 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. 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. 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 be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can help your 2002 Jaguar XJR's engine run smoother. See Jaguar's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2002 XJR in the chart at the top of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2002 Jaguar XJR.

Routine upkeep for your Jaguar XJR suspension and steering system 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. Components within your Jaguar XJR's steering system require regular maintenance.

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! A malfunctioning A/C system or overheating engine can wreak havoc on your car. We can help you with all those issues. Our technicians have the knowledge and tools to repair and maintain the heating and cooling systems for your Jaguar XJR’s engine, and we can service your A/C system, too. Is your Jaguar XJR radiator in need of replacement? We can take care of that. Is your A/C blowing hot air? We’re here to fix that, too.

  • When should I have Jaguar XJR alignment checked? You know your Jaguar XJR better than anyone else, so you’ll know if something doesn’t feel right while driving. Have your alignment checked (and adjusted if necessary) as soon as you notice a pulling steering wheel to prevent suspension damage or uneven tire wear.
  • When should I use high mileage oil in my Jaguar XJR? If your Jaguar XJR has ticked past 75,000 miles, consider switching to high mileage oil at your next oil change to give your engine what it needs to go another 75,000 (or more!). High mileage oil: make it a high priority!
  • Can I ignore dashboard lights on my Jaguar? Don't ignore dashboard warning lights! Bring your Jaguar XJR in for a diagnostic code scan as soon as a dashboard warning light flashes on, whether it's your check engine or battery light. Dashboard lights alert you to trouble under the hood.
