Keep reading to learn a little more so that you know what to expect.
Oil Change
Usually, you will have to change the oil on your Jaguar every 12 months or every 16,000 miles (whichever comes first). It is always best to consult with your owner’s manual to confirm what your specific model requires. Keep in mind that off-road driving, racing, sport driving, and heavy towing will all affect your oil change intervals.
Most auto repair shops will charge between $300 and $350 for an oil change depending on the oil you choose. Labor costs are around $50 to $65.
The four standard types of oil include conventional oil, synthetic oil, synthetic blends, and high mileage oil. Conventional oil is more for light-duty vehicles on the road, usually, your Jaguar will require a more powerful oil. Synthetic oil is a little more expensive than the standard oil but it lasts longer and it also functions best at either high or low temperatures.
Common Maintenance Costs
A common maintenance cost you can expect is a battery replacement. This will cost around $300 for the 2017 Jaguar F-Type.
The average cost to replace rotors and brake pads is around $525 on a 2009 Jaguar Vanden plus. Brake pad replacement for a 2009 Jaguar Super V8 can cost you around $220 and brake rotors replacement for a 2012 Jaguar XJ is around $535.
A 2002 Jaguar X-type starter replacement is around $325. If you have a 2009 Jaguar XF you can expect to pay around $630 for a mass airflow sensor replacement.
Every 5,000 and 15,000 Miles
The average Jaguar needs their first service call after 5,000 miles. During this service, you will want to check and rotate the tires, check all of the fluids and refill, inspect the lights and bulbs, lubricate the door hinges and body fittings, inspect the windshield wipers. Also, have the HVAC system inspected along with the belt and hoses.
After 15,000 miles you will usually need an engine oil and filter change along with spark plug replacements. You also want to check the air filter and clean the throttle plate. Also, inspect the braking system, grease the wheel bearings, check the belt adjustment, and lubricate the door locks.
