ISSUE:

Jaguar has approved the use of grade 0W/30 low viscosity engine oils, subject to certain limitations regarding ambient temperature and oil specifications, in both V12 and AJ16 engines.

In addition, the ambient temperature range for the use of 5W/30 oils has been extended from 50°F (10°C) to 104°F (40°C) subject to certain limitations on oil specifications on AJ16 normally aspirated engines ONLY.

ACTION:








Refer to the charts when selecting engine oils.

ALL ENGINES

Fully synthetic oil can be used to top up engines containing partly synthetic 0W/30 or 5W/30 engine oil.

Partly synthetic oil MUST NOT be used to top up engines filled with purely synthetic oil. The engine must be topped up with purely synthetic oil only, or it will no longer qualify for operation in ambient temperatures from 50-104°F (10-40°C).
