Engine at Normal Operating Temperature

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 12 other vehicles, including the 2015 Jaguar XKR-S, 2015 Jaguar XKR, 2015 Jaguar XK, 2014 Jaguar XKR-S, and 2014 Jaguar XKR. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The engine must be switched off and allowed to stand for a period of NOT  less than 10 minutes, before checking the oil level. This allows sufficient time for the hot oil in the system to drain back to the sump pan.

If the oil level is checked too soon after the engine has been run this will provide a false low level reading that may result in overfilling.

CAUTION:
  • Damage to vehicle. Take care not to overfill the engine with oil.

    Serious damage to the engine and components will result from overfilling.

  • Damage to vehicle. When filling the engine with oil, make sure any spilled oil is immediately cleaned from the engine, components or bodywork.
