Recently had my oil changed at a fast lube. They do a lot of high end European Car so I was not concerned.
Only 6000 Kilometers but six months old so I like to change the oil and filer at least every six months notwithstanding the Jaguar only calls for once a year given my mileage.
I have the S Model and the capacity in the manual, lists 6 Litres of Oil or 6.3 US Quarts.
I saw them put in exactly 6 Litres. I also am satisfied that they drained all the old oil because they took their time to make sure all the oil drained before reinstalling the drain plug.
The next day I drove about 10 Kilometers and when I checked the oil, it warned of an overfill. I took it back to the place that did the oil change the next day very close to my house and the owner told me to leave it and drive for about 30 kilometers because he told me he knows the engine and the oil guage will reset.
The day after I drove it another 10 kilometers and the next day another 10 kilometers. Now when I check the oil it indicates that it is about 1/2 litre below maximum but the oil level is okay.
Anybody know if I should add the 1/2 litre or just leave it because it says okay keeping in mind that I saw them put in the exact amount called for in the manual
