Default Check engine light after both engine air filter change?

I have no problems but was wondering if anyone experienced a check engine light after they replaced both their engine air cleaners on a 2010-2015 XK/XKRs? I'm getting both of mine changed tomorrow after 20,000 miles and 11 years. I haven't had the experience but I've read about it. I'll assume it may happen while changing very dirty air filters that disrupt the MAF. Hoping I don't have any issues.

The key is to use a matched pair of engine air filters that are packaged from the factory as a set of two. They're sequential from the same production run, which minimizes any difference in flow rates that could trigger a CEL.

Don't worry the air filters are supplied by your Jaguar dealer or independent technician. Any CEL is their problem, not yours if they didn't use a matched set of filters.

I didn't realize that you raised the same issue last April when you ordered a pair of Mahle air filters. You sure do worry a lot.

I haven't used the Mahle filters. I believe I got them from Rock Auto and they didn't match. I purchased 2 filters from Jaguar and although both the Mahle and Jaguar are made in Portugal, with similar dimensions, the Jaguar filters seem to be constructed better. Each of the filters are in their own individual plastic bag and look identical.

I fitted BMC filters on my 2008 XKR-S, no EML light.. also cleaned the MAFs it's a big job.

As the OP, I had the oil and the 2 engine air filters replaced yesterday with OEM Jaguar filters. After 20,000 miles, the original Jaguar filters showed almost no dirt, but at least I now know they are new.
