Engine Oil: Service and Repair
ENGINE OIL, RENEW
-
Ensure vehicle is on a flat level surface and check the oil level
-
Undo and remove the sump plug positioned at the rear of the sump, drain the engine oil into a suitable receptacle and dispose of it in a safe and
environmentally friendly manner.
-
Renew engine oil.
-
Check the oil level before starting the engine, i.e. engine is completely cold.
-
With the engine at normal operating temperature, the oil level should be checked after the engine has been stopped for a minimum of two minutes
to allow the oil to drain back into the sump.
-
Oil level checking on a partly warm engine, or within two minutes of stopping the engine, will result in an artificially low oil level indication and
could lead to overfilling.
-
Remove the dipstick and wipe clean. Replace fully, then withdraw the dipstick, if the oil level is between the `H' and the `L' marks no additional oil
is required.
-
If the oil level is at or below the `L' mark, remove the oil filler cap and add 1 litre (1.7 pints) of the correct specification oil and recheck. Allow
time (two minutes) for the added oil to fully register on the dipstick DO NOT OVER-FILL.
-
For recommended engine oil refer to Specifications.

-
The white oil filter cartridge displaying the Jaguar logo, is located on the left-hand side of the engine below the throttle assembly (Fig. 2).
