How often should you change the oil in a Jaguar?
16,000 miles
Jaguar Oil Change Interval One of the most common questions that drivers have is about the oil change frequency for their Jaguar XF, XJ, XE, or F-PACE. Thanks to the marvels of modern engineering, your Jaguar’s standard recommended oil change interval is 16,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first.
What kind of oil does a Jaguar V12 take?
The Jaguar V12 engine and all 6 cylinder engines before the AJ6 engine of 1980’s vintage needed quite a thick oil – usually 20W-50 – partly because the engineering tolerances were not so close as they are today with modern manufacturing methods, and one needed a good thick oil to fill up those tolerances.
What kind of oil does a Jaguar AJ16 use?
The Jaguar manual shows 5W-50 oil as being satisfactory for the AJ16. There is another important factor to consider in oils (amongst many). Oils’ second-order properties are graded, usually by the American Petroleum Institute’s API nomenclature. Without getting into the chemistry, the later in the alphabet the coding is, the better quality the oil.
What kind of oil should I put in my XJ engine?
There is no point in putting very thin, exotic synthetic oils such as Mobil 0-10 in the XJ engines. The engine will be noisier and leak more. There is no great harm in mixing fresh oil, so while all V12 engines will leave KWE with 20-50 in them topping up with 10-40, 10-50 or 10-60 is acceptable if 20-50 can’t be found.

Which is the current model of the Jaguar?
Discussion and General Information on all other car bands, please post them here… Jaguar Car Models Current All Current Jaguar models: XE, XF, F-Type, E-Pace, F-Pace, I-Pace, including Saloon, Sportbrake, Coupe & Convertible models.
What kind of oil do I put in my AJ6 engine?
The AJ6 and 16 engines are happy with 10-40 in UK climate, but a worn engine will benefit from 20-50. The late 6 litre V12 is better made than the earlier 5.3 so can use 10-40 oil, but the reduction in friction is tiny compared with the massive friction of 12 pistons so there’s no real advantage to be gained.
