1999 Jaguar XK8 Maintenance

Take care of your Jaguar XK8 and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, your XK8 has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. 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 XK8 maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1999 Jaguar XK8!

Jaguar knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your XK8 running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and prevent common 1999 Jaguar XK8 problems.

Bring your 1999 Jaguar XK8 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your XK8's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 1999 Jaguar XK8 be ready for a new battery? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your XK8 may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Jaguar XK8 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, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your XK8 stranded. Your Jaguar XK8 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1999 Jaguar XK8 running newer, longer. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1999 XK8. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1999 Jaguar XK8.
