Jaguar S-Type (EU)

Differential fluid capacity & service interval

Jaguar S-Type (EU) differential fluid capacity ranges from 1,5 to 1,54 liters. Service intervals include checking at 5000 km and changing at 20000 km. The data covers 6 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The Jaguar S-Type (EU) rear differential holds 1.5 liters of fluid across both the 1963-1965 and 1965-1968 variants of the 3.4 engine, indicating a consistent service fill volume for the standard open differential unit throughout the full 1963-1968 production span.
  • Limited slip differential configurations across all 3.4 and 3.8 variants carry a capacity of 1.54 liters, which is 0.04 liters more than the standard rear differential fill on the 3.4 models, reflecting the additional fluid volume required by the limited slip clutch pack mechanism.
  • The 3.8 engine variants are listed exclusively with a limited slip rear differential, carrying the same 1.54-liter capacity as the limited slip units on the 3.4 models.
  • A fluid level check interval of 5,000 km applies under normal use conditions to all rear differential configurations across both engine sizes and both production sub-periods.
  • The fluid change interval is set at 20,000 km under normal use conditions for every listed configuration, applying equally to standard and limited slip rear differentials on both the 3.4 and 3.8 variants.
  • The 3.4 engine spans two overlapping sub-periods, 1963-1965 and 1965-1968, with identical capacity and interval specifications in both, meaning the 1965 model year sits at the boundary of both sub-period designations without any change in service requirements.
