Thanks mate that is Great. It hopefully will help others

 

I have a 2017 just about out of warranty. It's at the dealer for warranty covered water pump/coolant pipe replacement. I asked about SC oil changeout. Service adviser says "jaguar says" SC is sealed, no need to do anything til 100000 miles. It's a V-6 MT with about 32000 miles on it. Is the oil change out really that easy? Pop the plug and suction it out? If so , I will press them to do it, no stinky brown oil for me!

 

it is easier on a V6....But I would not call it easy. That stupid Symposer gets in the way...and it is tight back there...just FYI.

More info HERE from when I did mine.

I recently had my SC oil replaced (45,000m) while they had the SC off for the upper and lower Y coolant pipes. Since it was off there isn't much labor charge. I would have tackled the job myself with The Rock's DIY had I not went ahead and chosen to replace the coolant pipes.

 

Many thanks to all who either posted or reached out to me with valuable and helpful suggestions and instructions for the SC oil issue. I have provided my JLR tech with all your good advice, what "owners" have experienced and done with SC oil VS JLR's wording that the SC is sealed and good for 100,000 miles, and that is exactly what was in his "authorized" manual. Without your suggestions, he had never thought of investigating it further, since there had been no need. There are not as many Fs here as there are in other US areas, and has not seen any with the 100,000 miles on them. Not sure how many other JLR vehicles might be around here. He had an old SC in the shop and did find the plug and was able to get the oil out of it. He is of the same "old school" philosophy as pertains to 'regular' oil changes, with some modifications due to modern oils and modern engines. He was going to contact Eaton, and THANK YOU The ROCK, for forwarding me all the F specifics, so that he could get a good grip on the methodology and correct oil for refills. The tech indicated he is going to find out the details this coming week, so I am hopeful that I can pass on good news.

 

Hi Valerie , not been on here for a while , I'm sure I also done a how to on the ftype v6 cars , it's easy , very easy . Compared to the v8 model . Will check my files and drop a few details and photos later this evening. George

 

Hi Valerie , as you will see by this photo the fill/drin port on the v6 cars is at the top and not down the back for the v8 cars , hope this helps .

 

So the update today is that the JLR tech is going forward with the SC oil change on my 2017 base Premium 6 cyl MT. He thinks he found a GM oil that would work ???? Corroboration and part number for that oil. I thought I saw it in a post somewhere and Of COURSE, can't find it now.

If you have the GM oil or something US that is acceptable, I can forward that info. Thank you!

 

Might try this:

Eaton branded supercharger oil.

A search on the TVS R1320 supercharger oil capacity says fill is 5.2 oz. But I would probably only replace the amount of oil removed.

 

Yes better just to replace with same as you take out , I got 80ml out and had originally thought that heat from the engine had evaporated the other 70ml but aparantly not the case after I contacted powerhouse , the other 70ml is caught up in the galleries and cogs

 

For those with the V6, is this really the drain plug that you can suction oil out? When I took the set screw out, I saw a cog/gear that blocks me from getting a tube down to suction the oil. Is this what others are seeing as well?

I could not find another drain hole, but it was difficult to see sine the symposer is in the way.

You can sorta see the cog/gear in this picture.

 

Correct. It is the only hole , fill &drain port , to remove some old oil as per instructions, wiggle straw to the Right of cogs then down , suck up old oil and replace same amount with new oil

 

Thank you for confirming. Need to find a straw that'll fit now! Cheers!

 

Follow the instructions, tape a say straw from a wd40 can or similar insert the straw into the tube that comes with the syringe making sure it don't slip out ......
