Oil Level Check

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Jaguar XF, 2014 Jaguar XF, and 2013 Jaguar XF. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Refer to: Engine Oil Vacuum Draining and Filling (Engine - V6 S/C 3.0L Petrol, General Procedures).

For accuracy, oil level checks should be performed with the vehicle on level ground when the oil is hot. The vehicle needs to stand for approximately 10 minutes, after the engine is switched off, to allow the oil to drain back into the oil pan and the oil level to stabilize. The oil level system will not give a reading until the oil level has stabilized.

To check the oil level, make sure that the ignition is on, the engine stopped and the transmission is in P (park). Access the vehicle information and settings menu and select Service Menu , then Oil Level Display . An Engine Oil Level sight glass will be displayed in the instrument cluster message center. The current oil level will be displayed in the sight glass. One of the following messages will also be displayed:

If the oil level is within acceptable limits, the message OK is displayed.
If the oil level is less than acceptable, a message advising how much oil to add is displayed e.g. Add 0.5 Liter Refer to handbook for oil type or Add 0.5 Quart Refer to handbook for oil type (depending on the market), or Underfilled Refer to handbook for oil volume & type .
If the message Overfilled Refer to handbook is displayed, the oil level must be reduced to within acceptable limits before starting the engine again.
If the message Not available is displayed, the oil level is still stabilizing. Wait 10 minutes and then recheck level.
