When to Change 2008 Jaguar XK Engine Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Jaguar XK’s oil changed? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just 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.”

Jaguar recommends changing your 2008 XK’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your XK may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knocking sounds 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, enjoy off-roading, or go long distances at low speeds. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Jaguar XK. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

What’s the Right Type of Oil for 2008 Jaguar XK?

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 2008 Jaguar XK motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Jaguar has recommendations as to whether conventional or synthetic oil is the ideal engine oil for your 2008 XK.

In an oil change service, a technician will change your XK's oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, check all of your other filters, refill vital car fluids, and perform a free inspection on the rest of your vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your XK by considering your driving preferences, weather and road conditions,

2008 Jaguar XK Oil Change Questions

  • Should I check my Jaguar XK motor oil level? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If you're low or out of oil, these parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your Jaguar XK engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • Can I change my Jaguar XK oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Jaguar exhaust smoke gray or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. It may be time for a pro to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, blown piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Jaguar XK oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Jaguar XK oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • Why is my Jaguar XK oil light illuminated? Your Jaguar XK oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.
  • Does my XK's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? It's recommended that you replace your Jaguar XK oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.
