1990 Jaguar XJS Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Jaguar XJS to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your XJS could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. 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 XJS maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1990 Jaguar XJS!

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; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your XJS's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 1990 Jaguar XJS problems.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1990 Jaguar XJS for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your XJS. 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 1990 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). Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Jaguar XJS battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. 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 XJS won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 1990 Jaguar XJS's engine run smoother. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1990 XJS. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1990 Jaguar XJS.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Jaguar XJS 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. Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, perform Jaguar XJS 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 XJS's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Jaguar XJS maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally. A damaged A/C system is never fun, and an overheated engine can cause significant issues (like a total car breakdown!). Don’t sweat it, though! Our technicians can take care of those issues, too. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we have what it takes to provide top-notch service for your Jaguar XJS engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Jaguar XJS? We got it. Got a funny smell coming from your A/C? We'll fix it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your one-stop shop for 1990 Jaguar XJS maintenance and repairs.
