I just picked up a '99 XJR. I discovered that with the position of the drain plug at the front, it didn't fully drain the pan when I had the front lifted. I put the plug back in, dropped the car and pulled the plug and got another cup or so of oil out. A bit of an inconvenience, but gives a better change in my opinion.

I don’t let the front anymore now. I use these now amzn.to/3tV1YcW

Do you have a video on how to set the automatic seat position and automatic steering position on this car?

[@ejsgarage]

Not yet

[@cinnreds18]

I think 5-40 is for warmer weather so the oil viscosity doesn’t break down sitting in traffic at 100 degrees

Hello. I purchased an 01 Vanden Plas. I had it towed hime because I could not open the hood and I was unsure how much oil was in it. Today I got the hood open and it is low. Maybe 1/4 low on the dipstick. 3/4 full. I was going to change it but had a question. The oil has been in there at least two years. Will I damage the engine to let it warm up to do the oil change? Or should I drain it with the oil cold? Should I top it off before I run it for the oil change?

[@ejsgarage]

Fill it up with fresh oil before starting and draining the old oil. Oil is cheaper than engine.

[@tainchains]

Also I think I hear a knock. When I first viewed the car I heard it but ot went away. But maybe I made a mistake buying this. I am not going to run it until I get the oil and ready to change it.

EJ have you ever changed or considered changing the transmission fluid in the Jag? Asking because I want to extend the life of the transmission but I also know it is fairly hard to change since it is “sealed for life” what are your thoughts?

[@ejsgarage]

Not yet but you can change it at the right transmission shop

[@pgermain27]

@@ejsgarage gotcha, thank you EJ. Your channel has been a blessing. Just got my hands on a x305 and your videos have been awesome!

[@ejsgarage]

My pleasure 😀

I told my shop I would change my oil myself.
They said to put 8 L in and it blew up!!!!
X308 means 8 L of motor oil they said
Just joking hahaha :D
How much oil is needed for the 1998 Jaguar XJR supercharged when changing oil with new oil filter?
7.0 L or 7.5 L ????
