Type:
Primarily Automatic Transmission (e.g., ZF 6HP26).
Transmission Options:
Not typically offered with manual transmissions in the X350 generation.
Transmission Fluid:
Specific automatic transmission fluid (ATF) type and capacity for various models (e.g., ZF Lifeguard Fluid 6). Fluid change intervals and procedures will be covered.
Wheelbase:
Standard and long-wheelbase variants available. Specific dimensions (length, width, height) are detailed in the manual's specifications section.
Curb Weight:
Varies significantly based on engine, drivetrain, and body style. Manual will provide specific curb weights for different configurations.

Oil Change Interval:
Typically around 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. Manual will specify exact intervals and oil type.
Transmission Fluid Change:
Often listed as 'lifetime' by manufacturers, but service intervals for fluid and filter changes are typically recommended by specialists at around 60,000-100,000 miles. Manual will provide official guidance.
Coolant Change:
Recommended at intervals such as every 5 years or 100,000 miles. Manual will detail precise intervals and coolant type.
Engine Oil Type:
Varies by engine; commonly synthetic oils meeting specific Jaguar specifications (e.g., SAE 5W-30, API SN or ILSAC GF-5).
Brake Fluid Type:
DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid, depending on specific system requirements. Manual will specify exact type and capacity.
