What kind of fuel does the Jaguar XJL use?
2 Answers
Jaguar XJL uses 95 octane gasoline. The type of oil used in a car should be determined based on the car's performance and the type of engine it has. It is unnecessary to use high-grade oil in engines with lower requirements, nor should lower-grade oil be used in engines with higher requirements. Below is some relevant information about engine oil: 1. Engine oil is referred to as the lifeblood of the engine. Without oil, the engine cannot operate. During engine operation, the oil forms a thin film on the surfaces of various engine components, preventing direct contact and friction between them. In fact, engine oil not only lubricates but also cleans, seals, cushions, prevents rust, and dissipates heat. 2. Over time, the performance of engine oil degrades, so it needs to be replaced regularly. Failure to change the oil for an extended period can accelerate engine wear. It is recommended to change the engine oil regularly during normal vehicle use and to replace the oil filter every time the oil is changed.
I used to drive a Jaguar XJL for several years, and this car is quite picky about fuel—it requires premium gasoline. I always opted for 95 or 97 octane unleaded fuel, as the manual clearly states the need for high-octane fuel to prevent engine knocking and maintain smooth acceleration. Once, a friend borrowed the car and filled it with 92 octane fuel, resulting in severe vibration, skyrocketing fuel consumption, and a repair bill of over a thousand yuan. My advice to new owners: don’t cut corners. Luxury cars like Jaguar, similar to the BMW 7 Series, should stick to a trusted gas station and always check the fuel grade label. During routine maintenance, monitor the fuel gauge closely, and regularly using high-quality fuel can extend engine life while preserving that silky driving experience. Don’t underestimate this—safe driving hinges on the right fuel choice.
