My 2017 R has Jaguar's Complimentary scheduled maintenance coverage for all new Jaguar models covers factory recommended scheduled maintenance as detailed in the Passport to Service for 5 years or 60,000 miles.

Found this info on kbb.com: During every service interval, Jaguar service mechanics will replace your synthetic oil and oil filter. At the 16,000-mile interval, they will top off brake fluid, coolant, windshield washer fluid and power steering fluid. It’s also the perfect time for a tire rotation and an examination of your brake pad material. At 32,000 miles, the same service will occur, with the addition of a spark plug and pollen filter replacement.

I've brought mine in for first annual service at 3000 miles & second at 6000 miles, So I assume besides oil & filter changes, & a bunch of visual checks/inspections, they don't do any other services at these annual service until I reach 16000 miles first?

 

The service is 16K miles or one year regardless of mileage. The same maintenance should be done for either case.

 

Shoot them if they rotate your tyres!

 

A tire rotation at 16,000 miles? There’s no tread left to rotate at 16,000 miles.

 

Good point. Maybe they just rotate them to the tire pile.

 

"At 32,000 miles, the same service will occur, with the addition of a spark plug and pollen filter replacement."
I call BS on this, at least the spark plug part.
The plugs are not due to be changed until 100,000 miles and 32,000 miles is not even a third of that.
It's also a very labour intensive pig of a job, no way would they do it for free at that early point.
I suspect they have quoted from some generic "Passport to Service" and not the F-Type version.

 

I found this on another forum.
Yes, looks like spark plug changes are 3yr/48k miles on V6 & 6yr/96k miles on V8
Does anyone has a better link to a more updated / correct version?

 

I have the exact same document and have been unable to find a later version.
However I read somewhere (most likely on this forum) that the next version changed the V6S spark plug change interval from 3 years / 48 k miles to 6 years / 96 k miles in line with all the others.
It's important/relevant to me because I have a V6S and I was a bit worried about the spark plugs - should I change them or not at 3 years (which in my case was 2 years ago now)? I even bought six new plugs a couple of years ago and started out on the job of changing them myself, but I soon gave up as it was just too difficult. No way will I ever take the car to the local JLR dealership for this type of work, and to get it done by an independent garage would still cost a bomb.
But then I read about the change to 6 years / 96 k miles and decided to let it go until then.
I still have the original factory plugs in the car, after 5 years+ and 34,000 miles, and not the faintest hint of any problems with them, and that's with a larger crank pulley and VAP tune for the last two years.

 

Ozzy you can just clean the plugs.

I can see how a smaller engine would travel twice as many miles as an engine twice its size, so I get why they might have lower mileage change. Why where do they get 3 or even 6 years from? Plugs are good for 10years and more.

 

Yep, that's my thinking as well, time/years should have SFA to do with it and it's all about the mileage.
I don't expect to hit 100,000 (or 96,000) miles for another ten years at least and I probably won't live that long anyway!
But if I ever did take the old plugs out I wouldn't bother cleaning them I would just put in the new ones I already have.

 

So if I'm reading that chart right, it's pretty much oil & filter changes every year, pollen filter change every 2 years, & replace brake fluid every 3 yrs, plus a bunch of visual inspections. Is that pretty much it...?

So it's up to us for all other wearable replaceable items like wipers, air filters, etc...?

 

Yep, that's pretty much it.
Except replace air filters every four years.

 

The Sticky topic "HOW TO Guides" links the maintenance schedule below, from 2014. It recommends 96K / 6 year spark plug replacement, for BOTH V6 variants. Anybody have a newer one?

I don't replace filters at the intervals noted, I just inspect them and replace if necessary. I DO keep spares on hand.

 

Maintenance schedules are a lot simpler for members in Europe where we have Jaguar OSH (Online Service History).

Enter the VIN and every schedule for your vehicle is available. Here's an example for my XK:

1. Latest service record



2. Service Schedules


3. Schedule for the next service due:



The full service history is also available through the same portal. So much more convenient and less open to fraud than the paper Service Portfolio.

What do you think I am, one of the Gumbys, ask you to do 10 hours of work to remove plugs only to the old ones back.
You can clean them without removing them.

There is a increased chance you wont if you use those cheap Chinese bottle jacks. They can work flawlessly, never leak, and one day they do.

 

Hi Everyone,

new MY 2016 F type R with 33k kms
The usual maintenance has been done by the dealer these past 4 years.
The recommended maintenance list do not show diff fluid and transfer case fluid change interval.
Nor does it show the supercharger fluid change requirements.
Any advice on these or a link would be appreciated.
Love the car !
My thanks in advance

 

None of those three fluids are included in the scheduled maintenance, according to JLR they are all "for life".
Same with the auto trans fluid.
Lots of debate and discussion about the auto trans fluid across many Jag forums and models, covering both the ZF 6HP26/28 and the ZF 8HP70 (that is what your F-Type has), and it's pretty much proven that when JLR says "for life" they really mean the life of the warranty not the life of the car. ZF themselves recommend the trans fluid be changed every 60,000 miles.
Same with the diff, transfer case and SC fluids - it is prudent to change them once the mileage gets up there, from memory around 50,000 miles for all three.

 

Thank you
Much appreciated

 

Clearly fluid need changing over time, brake fluid absorbs water for instance. Filters might even degrade a bit with time. But why would spark plugs be affected by time alone, wouldn't it be simply engine use which is essentially milage? I doubt many people sit around idling like police cruisers. One might check them from the sake of prudence but if it is huge job it doesn't seem like a good investment. I can't think of a reason why time would significantly affect spark plugs in an otherwise well maintained engine. Am I missing something?

 

Seems like a lot of the major items like spark plug & fluid changes occur at 6 yrs/ 60k miles, just right after the 5 yr complimentary factory services...
