How Often to Get 1984 Jaguar XJS Oil Changes

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 1984 Jaguar XJS? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than 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.”

Jaguar recommends having your 1984 Jaguar XJS’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your XJS in the above table. Outside of Jaguar-recommended oil change intervals, your XJS may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Jaguar recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, adventure off-road, or drive at low speeds for long distances. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Jaguar XJS. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
