When should I come in for Jaguar XK8 differential service?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2002 Jaguar XK8

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your XK8's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Jaguar, from back to front. It's one of the most complex systems in your XK8 and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2002 Jaguar XK8, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Jaguar's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
