Jaguar service intervals

p>  Whether you drive a brand-new Jaguar or a model that's somewhat older, the maintenance schedule and service intervals can differ from one model to the next. However, by giving your Jaguar regular factory recommended maintenance with genuine Jaguar parts you can help your vehicle last longer and perform better. It's a small investment that can make your initial investment pay long-term dividends as you drive around Hampstead or Jacksonville NC. Here's an outline of the standard Jaguar service intervals and why it's important to schedule service regularly at Jaguar Cape Fear in Wilmington, NC.

Jaguar service every 5000 miles

At the 5000-mile mark and at every 5000-mile interval after that, it's time to have us change the engine oil and filter. We can also lubricate the door hinges and body fittings, clean and lubricate the power antenna, and check and top off all fluids. We can perform a visual inspection underneath your Jaguar, then check and rotate the tires. We'll inspect the windshield wipers and washer fluid, inspect the lights and, if needed, we'll replace the bulbs. Finally, we can inspect the belts and hoses, inspect the HVAC system and perform a road test.

Jaguar service every 15,000 miles

At this interval, one of our experienced Jaguar technicians will complete all the services listed above for the 5000-mile inspection and replace the spark plugs. We will check the air filter and, if needed, replace it. We can inspect and clean the throttle plate, check the belt adjustment, inspect the braking system, lubricate the door locks and grease the wheel bearings.

Jaguar service every 30,000 miles

In addition to the services that were performed at the 5000- and 15,000-mile intervals, we will replace the transmission fluid and filter, replace the rear axle Lube and replace the power steering fluid. We will also repack the front wheel bearings, and the torque propeller shaft bolts. Every 90,000 miles we will replace the oxygen sensor and at six years or 60,000 miles we will adjust the drive belt and replace it.

Lubrication and inspection services at 30,000 miles

At the 30,000-mile mark, we will lubricate the accelerator linkage, lubricate the brake pedal, lubricate the distributor advance mechanism and lubricate weather stripping. One of our Jaguar technicians will also inspect the exhaust system, inspect the rear transmission mount spool and, if needed, replace it. After four years we will inspect the battery and replace it, inspect the brake discs and rotors, check the brake fluid levels brake hoses and pads and check the cooling system.

In addition, we will inspect the door hinges and locks, inspect the engine and engine mounts, the exhaust system, the fuel system and the handbrake. We will also check the lights and controls inside and outside the vehicle, check your Jaguar's seat belts, check the steering system, the wheel alignment and the wheel lug nuts.

Why is a Jaguar oil change so important?

As our valued customers in Morehead City NC and Myrtle Beach, SC understand, your Jaguar's engine is a precision machine. Over the course of time, airborne marauders like dust, dirt and grime can work their way into your Jaguar's engine compartment. A high quality motor oil helps lubricate all your engine parts to minimize the effect of friction and wear. But eventually, the motor oil wears out and needs to be replaced. Every 5,000 miles, we can drain out the old motor oil and replace it with fresh new lubrication. That will help your Jaguar have a longer life and perform at a higher level.
