2002 Jaguar XK8 Questions & Answers

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Jaguar? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Jaguar XK8? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your XK8 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your XK8 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my XK8's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2002 XK8’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Jaguar, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can my Jaguar XK8 leak transmission fluid? Yes. Jaguar XK8 transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
