🔧 Maintenance

Oil Change Interval:

Typically every 10,000 miles (16,000 km) or 12 months, whichever comes first. Always consult the specific manual for the exact engine and oil type.

Air Filter Replacement:

Recommended every 30,000 miles (48,000 km) or as needed based on driving conditions.

Spark Plug Replacement:

Varies by engine: Coil-on-plug platinum or iridium plugs often have intervals of 60,000-100,000 miles. Refer to manual for specific engine.

Transmission Fluid Service:

Recommended every 60,000-100,000 miles for automatic transmissions, depending on driving conditions. Manual transmissions may have longer intervals or be considered 'lifetime' but fluid change is still advisable.

Engine Oil Specification:

Consult manual for exact API, ACEA, and viscosity grades (e.g., 5W-30, 0W-30). Specific Jaguar approvals may apply.

Coolant Specification:

Ethylene glycol-based coolant, typically OAT (Organic Acid Technology) or HOAT, often Jaguar-approved specification (e.g., Jaguar Coolant XF, STC20700).

Brake Fluid Specification:

DOT 3 or DOT 4 (check manual for exact specification), often recommended to be flushed and replaced every 2-3 years.

Ignition Coils:

Premature failure of ignition coils can lead to misfires and rough running, particularly on V6 engines.

Thermostat:

Thermostat housing can develop leaks or the thermostat itself can fail, leading to overheating or poor temperature regulation.

AWD Transfer Case:

Potential for issues with the viscous coupling unit in the AWD system, though less common than on some other AWD vehicles.

Powertrain Control Module:

Rare instances of PCM failures, often manifesting as intermittent electrical problems or engine running issues.

Door Latches And Handles:

Actuators in door latches can fail, leading to doors not unlocking or locking properly. Exterior door handles can also be a point of failure.
