Are you not worried that you are potentially leaving heavy, metallic sludge behind which traditional draining might clear?
Yes that is why I no longer use this method and in the video I mention it should still be drained from underneath as well.
This is how we change our oil in f-type's as well. It'll be fine
How stupid can Jaguar get.
@@XJLuxury thanks for the update! just got one and had this thought as well.
Suck and drain. Is the method.
Change the filter element first, because I believe the oil inside drains down to the pan when you crack the element open. That way, you can drain out the oil that was in the filter too.
That is a good idea. I did not do that because of how the filter is on top of the engine but when I did remove it there was a puddle of old oil in the filter housing that I did suck up with the tool. In the future I will remove the filter first.
😊
thanks...nicely done
Had an electric reverso oil system on my twin caterpillar diesel boat and it worked flawlessly.. sucked almost 15 gal out and then pumped fresh oil in. Done.
Wow that’s crazy
Do you know how to reset the oil change tracker? I've got a 2016 XJL, glad to see someone out here is doing vids on them!
Nice facelift XJL! The only way to reset the oil reminder is with a dealer level scan tool. My mechanic has one and even that doesn’t work sometimes. It is not a simple process there are a lot of steps and honestly I’ve just learned to live with the service reminder.
I go to the garage and have it done !! They are the experts and check the rest. Great service for my XJ (L)
My 2017 Manual calls for 0W20.. Also what size in the oil filter wrench?
Nice video but you should've shown how to take the oil filter out of the filter housing too.
Sorry next time I will show how to do that.
so you are leaving all possible mess inside , and just mixing with new oil...freaking genius !
Unfortunately this is the recommend method. I do state that the vehicle should be lifted and drained that way as well
The dealers use a similar pump so no worries
Thank you for the video about the Jaguar XJL. Can you provide the links to buy the oil pump and oil filter remover?
Sure I just put it in the description!
Convert into new model front bumper and headlights it's looks so cool I love jaguar xjl scenes 2010 I have brought 2019 model
Yes I love the new headlights and taillights but they are extremely expensive to convert.
@@XJLuxuryi convert mines and they came to me modified already i like your videos im subscribing i learn very important tips from sticky buttons to oil change where you get the tool to turn the filter?
@@XJLuxury you can make your money back by selling the headlights you remove
Bought, not brought. And why convert? Costs too much and the original look is good.
I would really like to get a car like this, but with all European cars the cost of ownership is what scares me. I'm glad to actually see how simple this looked. If I can save money in any way possible I'll probably try to get it.
I’m glad I could help ease your mind. I will be releasing a video soon on the cost of ownership and reliability.
@@XJLuxury I was wondering if you did the video on ownership and reliability. I didn't see it when I looked for it.
@@dfatal74Go to the Jag forums. There you will learn everything about DIY maintenance and how to spend a little bit of money on proactive maintenance so you save a huge amount of money on expensive failures. If you are too lazy or cheap to do proactive maintenance, do not buy a Jag. You will become a very sad person when your car is destroyed by a failed engine that costs more to repair than the car is worth.
If you want to have low cost of maintenance, stick with the economy brands like Toyota. These cars are much more expensive for parts and fluids than those cars, but so worth it.
hi, this video was very helpful but can you tell me how to get rid of the amber exclamation mark in the triangle.
What’s the amber triangle on for? If you need an oil change the car will just alert you and day maintenance required in the notification Center and then go away.
Are there any other maintenance you’ve done yourself on your Jag? Trying to do as much on my own without the dealership as possible.
Yes I will be making a video soon in regards to maintenance. Stay tuned!
Would have really liked it if you had shown the oil filter removal and replacement. Can you tell me what the torque spec is for the oil drain plug?
Sorry about that I will do it next time! And I saw online it says to tighten it down to 24 nm, however, I don’t know how correct that is. I usually just tighten it by hand.
@@XJLuxury ...Thank you for your reply. :)
I‘m also considering buy jaguar xj
Did you have any problem with your xj? I heard that jaguar models have lot of problems
Anyways i enjoyed your video dude 👍🏼
Thank you man! It is true that Jaguar does have their fair share of problems just like any other high-end brand but personally I have not experienced that many issues. My biggest issue is my alternator going and a valve cover gasket leak. I will be making a video soon about the reliability.
This is my dream car... what other issues you've ran into... im afraid of mechanic issues and maintenance but i still want it 😕
I am making a video on that soon!
Me too l love this damn car
I love it. The only con of this car that im aware of is the infotainment system. Can it be upgraded?
When adding oil back in the car do you pour it back into the small tube ? Or just funnel it around it
Anywhere. It all goes to the same place - the oil pan.
How are you resetting your service required prompt on the dash? I'm sure it requires a scan tool of some type. This prevents me from doing my own oil change on my XJL. I want it reset when I'm done.
Yes it does require a high level scan tool to reset. The good thing is that most independent mechanics have this tool. Try going to a few and just asking them nicely if they can reset it for you.
In your video you mentioned a electronic oil pump, know where I could purchase one?
Amazon or Harbor Freight
Do you have a video on changing the alternator?
Unfortunately I do not but it was a pretty straightforward job.
How reliable has the XJ been for you? And how many miles have you put on it?
Done 100K km with my Jag XJ (L) . Best car in the world !!! Love it.
So dar it has been very reliable. Only issues that I’ve had was it had a bad valve cover oil leak when I got it, I had to change the alternator, it has some windshield washer leak, the drivers door won’t lock and it has something to do with the actuator, and the rear glass randomly cracked out of no where. I also smell a lot of antifreeze which tells me my water pump might be going soon which is very common on these.
Does the oil extracted tube goes on inside the oil tube that's in the engine or does the plastic tube go on the outside of the engine tube
Inside the engine. The video should show it.
Would love for you to change the oil in my Jag where are you located? Anywhere close to NC or in NC?
I would love to do that but unfortunately I am located in NY
I want the 2013 or 14 model. Has anyone noticed common issues with these cars?
I will be making a video on this soon!
How you going to check for leaks? There is a full length undertray cover?
I mention in my video that the car should still be put on a lift to check underneath it for leaks. You would need to remove the cover which covers the upper half of the car.
@@XJLuxury
Yeah but that defeats the whole object of pumping the oil out of the filler tube.You might as well just crack the drain plug and drain it normally if removing the undertray lol.
Use a strap wrench ,no need for specialty tools .smart ford engineering!
That’s true!
If there is a drain plug why did you have to pump out the oil?
This is just an easier way to do it without a lift or needing to raise the car up.
Is it possible to do it this at home and not at a mechanic?
Yes
How do you reset the service message?
You need a high end scan tool to do that and even with that scan tool it is very tricky and most of the time does not work. My friend has a dealer level scan tool and the past few times it has not been working to reset the light and I’ve just learned to live with the light
Have you done the spark plugs?
Not yet I ordered them and am doing them soon.
@@XJLuxury outstanding
Can you do that on jaguar xf 2011
I believe so
What should I expect to pay for an oil change from a garage?
Well Jaguar wanted over $300 for the oil change. The car used about 8 Qts of oil if I can remember and the filter was very expensive at $30 and that was the shops cost. I would say expect to pay around $100-150 at an independent shop and maybe $50-75 doing it yourself.
Good information to keep in mind. I pay $150 for my MB E350 for an oil change at an independent shop. MB dealer is around $200.
What is the difference between this oil you used and the oil from the Jaguar dealership?
Nothing. This is the exact oil that is used in this car and recommended at the dealer.
There is also an article written about this specific oil to be used in the 5.0 engine. I will look for it and link it here.
docs.google.com/file/d/1lupKryb2l4r9eK8fx_tVCqepIZFgxEQB/edit?usp=docslist_api&filetype=msword
By the way the article I linked says you can change the oil every 15,000 miles but I would never recommend nor ever do such a thing. Regardless of what my manual says I ALWAYS change my oil every 5,000 miles. No exceptions
So looks like this off the shelf Castrol Edge is not compatible. The article recommends using the Jaguar specific Castrol Edge Professional oil with the WSS M2C925-A rating. It can only be purchased at Jaguar. How has your experience been with this off the shelf oil? I didn't want to take any chances so I use the Jaguar Castrol Edge Professional. Goes for about $100 for 8qrt.
You’re making life so hard , let that gravity do it’s own thing and relax
Tell that to the manufacturer who designed it this way.
Well my British jaguar don't have that and mine is a 2013 model
Different engine?
@@XJLuxury 3.0 V6 d portfolio
I got a 2013 XJ Jaguar supercharged I wish I knew how to do RUclips videos because I can tell you a lot about this car and so many things happened with this car D cars are no good
What happened?
0w20 oil
Correct
What I don't understand about your video you have a camera in your hand , you have your assistant , U fuming how to pump oil out of a Jag Xj from tha top of tha engine ..
But yet show a little of nothing did not show us if there was any or left in tha oil pan after pumping tha oil out , u did not show how to take tha oil filter off , bro when you're filming cars mechanically on your channel go tha whole route don't cheat your viewers please thank you ...
I understand everything that you are saying and I agree with it. I should have shown my viewers how to remove the oil filter and should have shown them what was left in the oil pan. I have learned my lesson and I will ensure that this does not happen again in my future videos.
This is not a good method
It is the recommended method. Doesn’t mean it’s good.
