I have a 2013 Jaguar XF 3.0
im swapping out the fule filter and oil filter
but a little confused on the filters I ordered on eBay
And this is what I got , the fule filter is a in-line filter,and the oil filter is the style that screw on the block. I’ve followed the fule lines on the passenger side,from the tank to the engine and I’m not seeing it. And I know I have a oil filter that is under my hood, but I’m not see the one that will screw on to the block.
any avice on where these 2 filter are?? Both eBay post on the filters said it was a fit for my car, and they were an jaguar parts

The fuel filter is in the fuel tank and is a big job to renew, it's meant to be a "for life" part, I wouldn't bother attempting to replace it.
Ignore those eBay ads which show an in-line external filter and state it is suitable for the V6 SC, it is not.
The oil filter is an element which sits in a plastic canister, unscrew the canister, pull the old filter out, stick a new filter in, screw the canister back on.
The canister is under the engine cover, on top and towards the front of the engine and a bit left of centre as you look at it, you can't miss it.
The exact same canister and oil filter element is used on all AJ126 3.0 V6 petrol and AJ133 5.0 V8 petrol engines, lots of choices at places like Rock Auto, I have used Wix and Mann and Mahle with zero problems.

You need to look at my post and other posts on how this fuel filter has a plastic housing that springs a leak over time and sprays fuel out in a fine mist that is perfect for a nice explosion.Originally Posted by OzXFR

Jag won't recommend replacing it on a schedule as part of maintenance, but owners should add it to the list of things to change on a schedule, like 7 years, because it does not last for the life of the car in practice.
It's not that hard to change. Can be done in less than an hour for someone that's done it before. I did one because it leaked on my grey car, and I just ordered another one for the white car because waiting for fuel leaks before fixing weak links is not a good idea. Plus it's double the price at a dealership than an online parts reseller, so even more reason to change before it fails to avoid the downtime during shipping or paying the ransom at the dealer.
Greatly appreciated your advice and I’ll definitely read up on your post!

you got wrong parts. the oil filter is not a screw on but is now in a canister on top of the block in front. unscrew the cap and replaced the cartridge filter and oring. the fuel filter is in the tank and never seen a issue with the intank filter ever getting clogged and I have pulled out lots of fuel pumps. the pumps come as an assembly with new sender and filter socks on the anti slosh module that the pump is in. I personally wouldn't recommend or do it even on my own car. just no need
