Will it hurt my Jaguar XK8 to drive with old spark plugs?

Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Without the spark of electricity created by spark plugs, your engine doesn’t have the combustion it needs to start — which could leave you stranded on the road. Always replace your spark plugs on time based on Jaguar’s recommendations.

What do I do if I see a pool of liquid under my Jaguar XK8?

Puddles could indicate an oil leak, coolant leak, or brake fluid leak– all of which can critically hurt your engine. Have your engine inspected as soon as you spot a pool of liquid in your usual parking spot.

What do hard starts and stops do to my XK8 engine?

You can make your driving habits more engine-friendly. Hard starts and stops can increase the stress on engine parts, especially over many years. Boost your fuel economy and care for your engine by using gradual, smooth starts and stops instead.

Reference your Jaguar owner’s manual for exact guidelines.

Tune Into Your Jaguar XK8

Is your engine overdue for a tune-up? If you're the type of driver who waits for something to go wrong with your vehicle, now is the time to work on that habit, particularly if you want to keep your 1999 Jaguar XK8 in tip-top shape. Routine engine tune-ups can bring power back to your XK8. They're designed to help your engine start easier and run more efficiently, which can mean better fuel economy (a win for you) and lower emissions (a win for the environment). When you get routine engine tune-ups based on Jaguar's recommendations, you can rest assured you’re investing in your XK8’s long-term engine performance.

Routine Engine Tune-Up Service for Your Jaguar XK8

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care offers a range of engine tune-up services for your 1999 Jaguar XK8. The first is the standard Firestone Tune-Up. This includes the installation of new spark plugs and a visual inspection of your engine’s components, plus a lifetime warranty on parts*. A second service option replaces the air and fuel filter in your XK8. The third tune-up option is a fuel system cleaning service, which is a three-step process that removes varnish, dirt, and carbon deposits on your XK8's fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate. The result? Restored fuel system performance. Consider this when choosing a tune-up service for your XK8: your vehicle’s maintenance record and mileage can determine which service is best. This means that a tune-up service that’s a great fit for another car may not be optimal for yours. Chat with a Firestone technician before you jump into a specific service to ensure your engine tune-up money is well-spent.

Where Should I Go for My Jaguar XK8 Tune-Up?

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for your next 1999 XK8 engine tune-up. Not sure when you’re due for a tune-up?
