When to Change 1994 Jaguar XJS Engine Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Jaguar XJS’s oil changed? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Your 1994 XJS’s oil should be changed according to Jaguar’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your XJS in the above table. Your XJS may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear engine knocking, 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 areas, enjoy off-roading, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm 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.
