Fluid level checks

Do not use oil additives of any type as engine
damage could occur. Use only specified
lubricants.
Jaguar recommends:
TOPPING UP THE OIL
Overfilling with oil could result in severe engine
damage. Oil should be added in small
quantities and the level re-checked to ensure
that the engine is not overfilled.
1. Unscrew the oil filler cap.
2. Add oil as indicated by the message center
display.
3. Wait five minutes for the oil level to
stabilize then re-check.
It is essential to use the correct specification
oil, and to ensure it is suitable for the climatic
conditions in which the vehicle is to be
operated.
ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION
A certain amount of oil consumption is normal.
The rate of consumption will depend on the
following:
• The quality and viscosity of the oil.
• Climatic conditions.
• The speed at which the engine is being
operated.
• Road conditions.
Drivers should expect above normal
consumption when the engine is new, and after
breaking-in if high speeds are sustained.
CHECKING THE COOLANT LEVEL
Running the engine without coolant will cause
serious engine damage.
If persistent coolant loss is noticed, seek
qualified assistance immediately.
The coolant level in the expansion tank should
be checked at least weekly (more frequently in
high mileage or severe operating conditions).
Always check the level when the system is
cold.
Ensure the coolant level is maintained between
the level indicator marks, as shown in the
illustration.
If coolant/steam is expelled from the pressure
cap, or the level has dropped suddenly, or by a
large amount, arrange for the vehicle to be
examined by a qualified technician as soon as
possible.
