When to Change 2005 Jaguar XK8 Engine Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Jaguar XK8’s oil changed? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. We know all about motor oil, too. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Jaguar recommends changing your 2005 XK8’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your XK8 may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Jaguar recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, enjoy off-roading, or go long distances at low speeds. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Jaguar XK8. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
