When to Change 2000 Jaguar XK8 Engine Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2000 Jaguar XK8? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. We know all about motor oil, too. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Jaguar recommends having your 2000 Jaguar XK8’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Outside of Jaguar-recommended oil change intervals, your XK8 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Jaguar if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Jaguar XK8. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.

What’s the Right Type of Oil for 2000 Jaguar XK8?

Jaguar has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the best motor oil for your 2000 XK8.

In an oil change service, a technician will change your XK8's oil, replace and recycle your used oil and oil filter, inspect the rest of your car’s filters, refill vital car fluids, and perform a courtesy inspection on your entire vehicle. You can drive easy knowing that we strive to do what's best for your vehicle and take into account your driving style, and odometer.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 2000 Jaguar XK8

  • What can low oil do to my Jaguar XK8 engine? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, these components can grind against each other, overheat, and eventually lead to Jaguar XK8 engine failure. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Jaguar oil on my own? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Jaguar XK8 exhaust smoke grayish or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. 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, fried piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Jaguar XK8 oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Jaguar XK8 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 XK8 oil light illuminated? Your Jaguar XK8 oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty oil pressure sensor.
  • Does my XK8's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? You should replace your Jaguar XK8 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.
