What kind of oil should a Jaguar XJ use?
2 Answers
Jaguar XJ should use 0w20 oil. The functions of engine oil are: 1. To alleviate friction and high temperature; 2. To cool down; 3. To clean; 4. To cushion and absorb shocks; 5. To prevent rust and corrosion. The Jaguar XJ is a large car with a body size of 5265mm in length, 1899mm in width, 1460mm in height, a wheelbase of 3157mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 80l. The Jaguar XJ is equipped with a 3.0t supercharged engine, with a maximum power of 250kw, a maximum power speed of 6500rpm per minute, a maximum torque of 450nm, and is matched with an 8-speed automatic manual transmission.
I have over 20 years of experience in car repair, frequently working on luxury vehicles like the Jaguar XJ. They typically use full synthetic oil, with recommended viscosities of 0W-20 or 5W-30, meeting API SN standards. I recommend Castrol EDGE because they have an official partnership with Jaguar, ensuring proper engine lubrication. Choosing the right oil is crucial, as incorrect viscosity can lead to carbon buildup or increased fuel consumption. When changing the oil, don't forget to replace the oil filter as well to maintain system cleanliness. I usually check the oil level every 5,000 kilometers and change it early if the oil appears black or thin. Regular maintenance prevents major overhauls and extends engine life by at least a few years. Avoid using mineral oil or cheap alternatives, as they may damage precision components.
