Oil Level Check

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Jaguar XE and 2017 Jaguar XE. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

For additional information, refer to: ENGINE OIL DRAINING AND FILLING .

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) position. Access the vehicle information and settings menu and select Service Menu , then Oil Level Display . An Engine Oil Level image is displayed in the Instrument Cluster (IC) message center and shows the current oil level.

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, for example Add 0.5 Liter or Add 0.5 Quart (depending on the market), or Underfilled , Refer to CAPACITIES (FOR RWD VEHICLES) or CAPACITIES (FOR AWD VEHICLES) for oil volume and type in SPECIFICATIONS , or in owner's manual.
If the message Engine Oil Level Overfilled is displayed, the oil level must be reduced to within acceptable limits before starting the engine again.
If the message Engine Oil Level Underfilled is displayed, add 1.5 liters (2.6 pints) of oil, then recheck the oil level.
If the message Engine Oil Level Not Available is displayed, the oil level is still stabilizing. Wait 10 minutes and then recheck level.
If a warning message Engine Oil Level Monitor System Fault is displayed a system fault has occurred. Check for fault codes using the approved Jaguar diagnostic equipment.
