Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. There's no need to guess when it's time to get XJS maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Just follow your 1996 Jaguar XJS maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Jaguar, your vehicle manufacturer. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your XJS running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1996 Jaguar XJS problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1996 Jaguar XJS 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.

Could your 1996 Jaguar XJS be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to 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. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Jaguar XJS battery, and so can frequent short drives. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty XJS) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Jaguar XJS won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1996 Jaguar XJS running newer, longer.

Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1996 Jaguar XJS.
