1983 Jaguar XJS Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Jaguar XJS, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, your XJS could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your XJS, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1983 Jaguar XJS!

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; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your XJS running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1983 Jaguar XJS problems later.

Bring your 1983 Jaguar XJS 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 XJS's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1983 Jaguar XJS? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Jaguar XJS 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. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your XJS stranded. Your Jaguar XJS won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.
