2005 Jaguar XKR Maintenance

Take care of your Jaguar XKR and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your XKR has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your XKR, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2005 Jaguar XKR!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Jaguar, your vehicle manufacturer. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your XKR running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2005 Jaguar XKR problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2005 Jaguar XKR and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your XKR’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 2005 Jaguar XKR be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your XKR may need a replacement battery sooner. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Jaguar XKR battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your XKR stranded. Your Jaguar XKR won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2005 Jaguar XKR running newer, longer. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2005 XKR. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2005 Jaguar XKR? We can help with that, too!

These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Jaguar XKR's steering system with regular maintenance.
