This popped up in my 'feed' because I had just watched a vid on changing the oil on a 99 XK8. Wow, what a difference 11 years makes. Two nearly completely different processes. As for Jags in general, I own an 03 XKR and I love it.
Dave just a quick note to say thank you; saves driving 2 hours for an oil change and paying $400, which just doesn’t make sense to me. Definitely gonna go the vacuum route like you did. Great video!!! Jason ~2011 XKR
Dave , i loved the video entertaining as hell !!!!!!!! Just bought my 9th Jag ( yea im addicted) 2011 XK Coupe with 10 K miles on it. always do my own oil changes, no more oil all over your hands , love it !!!!!
I like your style - the suction method is alright; I much prefer how gravity lets me extract all residue and soot, but that’s just me. Good vid. Cheers.
I'd add a little guidance about resetting service mode... After you turn ON the electronics, you have 3 SECONDS to: 1) release fog button, hit and hold button thingy on turn signal + hit and hold fog light button.
You don't have to wait 10 minutes just hit the cancel button on the steering wheel twice once on checking mode and it will let you know immediately. Promise you. I too have an 2010 Jaguar XKR :)
The "WSS M2C925-A vs WSS M2C945-A" debate rages. How did you determine that WSS M2C945-A is suitable to replace WSS M2C925-A oil? I want to believe you. My manual says to use WSS M2C925-A, and I cannot find tech specs for it.
I've just contacted the main Castrol distributor in the UK and they advise using Castrol EDGE Professional 0w-20 for the Jaguar 5.0L V8 engine variants.
Generally, yes. Two things tho - first, get a battery tender. These things have gremlins and WILL drain the battery even if you drive it but only on short trips. My wife can drive it one day, and then I have to jump it the next if it hasn't been on the tender. Second - the AirCon condensate drain "duckbill" has a tendency to clog, and it will soak the passenger floorboard and possibly fry your blower fan. I actually have footage of my repair, and it requires lowering the transmission (there is another way with a razor blade on a stick, but I have short fat arms). One day I'll get that video out. If you're in Canada and don't need AC then you might be alright. lol
@@PoweredByDave1 I might try to stab the thing soon, transmission drop is too much but i hope i’m not too fat for it, my main other annoyance is a whistling sound
There is no drain plug on this engine. It’s the only way unless you want to remove the pan. I mean there shouldn’t be any metal shards in the pan. If there are your engine is already toast!
@@PoweredByDave1 Maybe the American spec XKR is different to the U/K spec but my 2012 XKR has a oil drain plug and I only have 4 bolts and a couple of nuts to undo and the plastic undertray drops right down giving great access to the drain plug, I personally don't like to suck the old oil out, prefer to drain it out in the old-fashion way.
The best damn oil change video I ever watched.
Wow now there’s a compliment! Then again, is this the only one you’ve watched? Lol

Doing oil changes in my jag every 2-3m miles now with BETTER oil and saving 400-500 bucks compared to dealership!!!

Changing the oil looks very easy, thanks for the entertaining vid. Have another beer, cheers!!
Thanks! Will do!
They say you learn something new everyday, well today I learned more than one. Cheers Dave
'preciate it. Glad I only have to fight this car once a year! lol
Thanks for this video I was not and I repeat was not about to pay 300 dollars for a oil change thank you
Our local Jag/RR dealer quoted me $450. Like I'm made of money LOL
That oil vacuum tho. Reminds me of the airport scene in Austin Powers lol.
Groovy, baby!

Hey nice job on the oil change ! Have you done a coolant / anti-freeze change yet ?

Have you had a generally reliable experience with your XKR? Looking to purchase a 10-15 XKR within the next year. Great video. Thanks.

Although not quite as fast, the pre 2010 XKs with the 4.2 are much more reliable engines than the 5.0s
Cool video…oI he can do it, I guess I can too.by the way, it’s not a ford motor.
How many bolts ? 😆
Pity the 4.2 isn't as easy.
I wish I watched this last month: 410$ at the dealer.. what a joke!
Sucking the oil out is probably the worst thing you can do.All the crap and metal shards are now left in the sump.
