So I thought I would work through all the service schedules and make a table of what gets changed when.
Although I logged in with my 2014 RWD V6 VIN the schedules appear to cover all engine versions.
There is no specific mention of AWD variants, but they could be covered under the general transmission oil heading.
However you would expect the V6 400 to require the same spark plug interval as the 380 - and also is the 380 to 340 that much of a difference?
As such I wonder if I see different schedules to others with the same engine and drive but a later model car.
It would be good if a few more such charts could be posted to get a better understanding of model year changes.
There are a number of things that stand out from the below table...
- The brake fluid change labour cost is excluded.
(By not saying "labour and parts" therefore implying you should receive a free bottle of brake fluid if you don't have it changed.)
- There is no mention of changing the fuel filter at any service.
- The spark plug change for the V6 380 seems to be excessively frequent.
- 144k miles seems quite a lot before changing the accessory and supercharger belts.
- Jaguar believe the transmission oil is good for 160k miles or 10 years, yet ZF recommend changing it at 50-75k miles or 8 years.
(To be honest reading the instructions to disable limp home mode, overfill and then drive, etc. is definitely an expert job.)
- Locking diffs are failing despite the 4 yearly oil change, whereas an open diff, being purely a mechanical lump, is good for 10 years.
