How Often to Change 2012 Jaguar XKR Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2012 Jaguar XKR? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. 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 2012 XKR’s oil should be changed according to Jaguar’s recommended oil change intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Outside of Jaguar-recommended oil change intervals, your XKR may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Jaguar if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, 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, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 2012 Jaguar XKR motor oil: either synthetic or conventional.

You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your XKR by taking into account your driving habits, and odometer.
