Engine Oil:

Synthetic 5W-30 or 5W-40 meeting Jaguar specifications (e.g., Jaguar WSS-M2C153-E or similar, manual verification essential).

Coolant:

Specific ZF Lifeguard fluid or equivalent compatible with the ZF transmission model used (e.g., Lifeguard fluid 5 or 6, manual verification essential).

Brake Fluid:

DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid (manual verification essential).

Air Suspension:

Potential for air spring leaks or compressor failure on models equipped with adaptive air suspension.

Timing Chain:

While generally robust, timing chain tensioners and guides can wear over time, especially on higher mileage engines (specific concern varies by V8 generation, manual would detail checks).

Supercharger Coupler:

The rubber coupler within the supercharger drive can degrade, leading to a rattling noise or loss of boost.
