Depth Of Coverage:
Highly detailed, suitable for professional mechanics, restoration specialists, and experienced DIY enthusiasts.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 7,500 to 10,000 miles or annually, consult specific model year recommendations.
Transmission Fluid Change:
Recommended around 60,000 miles or every 4 years, fluid and filter replacement is critical.
Coolant Change:
Initial change at 5 years or 100,000 miles, then every 2-3 years or 30,000-50,000 miles.
Engine Oil Type:
Refer to manual for specific viscosity grade (e.g., 5W-30 or 10W-40), often meeting API SJ/SL or ACEA A2/A3 specifications.
Transmission Fluid Type:
Typically ZF TE-ML 11B or equivalent synthetic ATF.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene Glycol-based coolant (e.g., Jaguar specific green or blue coolant).
Timing Chain Tensioners:
Early AJ-V8 engines (especially 4.0L) are prone to plastic timing chain tensioner failure, leading to catastrophic engine damage. Replacement with updated metal tensioners is highly recommended.
Water Pump Leaks:
Water pump failure and leaks can occur, often due to aged seals.
Supercharger Couplers:
In XKR models, the supercharger snout coupler can wear out, causing noise and reduced performance.
Convertible Top Hydraulics:
Hydraulic system for the convertible top can develop leaks or pump failures.
