Default What mileage does Jag recommend maintenance on the STR?

I tried the search function and couldn't find my answer. I have an 03 S-Type R w/ 54k miles. I just bought it, and it did not come w/ owner's manual so I'm unsure when service is recommended. Can anyone school me in? Is it 60k, 90, 120k? This is just a guess. Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!!

It says I need a log-in and subscription. I guess I could just call the dealership and ask haha.

Let's see...First things you're going to want to do is change the lug nuts, tighten your shifter to transmission bolts (maybe even locktite them), buy a coolant overflow tank to keep onhand and get an alignment updated to the newer specs...

Coming later odds are you'll need, Vance's screws in the broken headlight trick, new clips to the fix broken ones on the door trim, change your tranny fluid, replace your DCCV and fix a super expensive leak under the supercharger...

Broken headlight repair with screw trick done! I can't help but to think that the headlights pointed directly at the ground was the reason the previous owner traded in this gem (given cost of new HID lights), and I fixed it for $0.70 haha.

I work as a lawyer in West Palm Beach and I file a lot of lawsuits in Miami so I drive a whole lot, and I was just wondering when service is to be done so I can stay on top of it. I'm a believer in maintaining a vehicle.

Every 10K miles. Service sheet may be in the FAQs but otherwise just download it if you want it - even pay the few $$$ for Topix as you can get so much stuff so cheaply
Have time free for Topix, as there's SO MUCH useful to download

Or get JTIS........

You don't need anything for the handbook download, put in your model details then click the owner tab.
