When to Change 1993 Jaguar XJS Engine Oil

Need more info about 1993 Jaguar XJS oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know all about motor oil, too. 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 1993 XJS’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 XJS may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Jaguar recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, go off-roading a lot, or go long distances at low speeds. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Jaguar XJS. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
