Jaguar recommends having your 2012 Jaguar XK’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your XK in the above table. Outside of Jaguar-recommended oil change intervals, your XK may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Jaguar recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, go off-roading a lot, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. 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.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 2012 Jaguar XK

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Jaguar XK? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and cause your XK’s engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Jaguar oil on my own? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Jaguar XK exhaust smoke grayish or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, blown piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Jaguar XK oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Jaguar XK oil changes. In addition to changing your oil, our experienced technicians also perform oil filter replacements, troubleshoot oil leaks, and suggest the correct oil to help keep your engine performing its best.
  • Why is my Jaguar XK oil light illuminated? The oil change light in your Jaguar XK could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
  • Does my XK's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? You should replace your Jaguar XK during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.
