Urgent Jaguar 2.7 TDVi Oil Change + Service Indicator Reset | XJ Sovereign Diesel Engine Save!

🚨 Urgent Jaguar Oil Service – 2.7 V6 TDVi + Service Indicator Reset

My 2006 Jaguar XJ Sovereign TDVi (2.7 V6 bi-turbo diesel) was shouting for attention – the Engine Service Indicator had gone red!

In this video, I’ll walk you step-by-step through:
1️⃣ Draining and replacing the engine oil (including what tools and parts you’ll need)
2️⃣ Dealing with a broken undertray – not in the service manual, but a very real challenge
3️⃣ Discovering diesel-contaminated engine oil – why it’s dangerous and what it means
4️⃣ Resetting the Jaguar engine service indicator

💡 Why this matters: Diesel in the oil risks serious engine damage like failed crank bearings due to lack of proper lubrication. If you own a Jaguar XJ (X350/X358), S-Type, or XF with the 2.7 TDVi, this is a must-watch.
