When to Change 2008 Jaguar XKR Engine Oil

Need more info about 2008 Jaguar XKR oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. We know the ins and outs of 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.

Your 2008 XKR’s oil should be changed according to Jaguar’s recommended oil change intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your XKR may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the car, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Jaguar recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, go off-roading a lot, or go long distances at low speeds. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Jaguar XKR. 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.

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 2008 Jaguar XKR motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Jaguar has specifically identified either synthetic or conventional as the ideal engine oil for your 2008 XKR.

During your oil change service, one of our techs will change your XKR’s oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, check all of your other filters, top-off important fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your XKR by considering your driving habits, and mileage.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 2008 Jaguar XKR

  • What can low oil do to my Jaguar XKR engine? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, engine parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and eventually lead to Jaguar XKR engine failure. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Jaguar oil on my own? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Jaguar XKR exhaust smoke grayish or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, fried piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Jaguar XKR oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Jaguar XKR oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • Why is my Jaguar XKR oil light illuminated? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Jaguar XKR oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Jaguar XKR? It's recommended that you replace your Jaguar XKR oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.
