Jaguar E Pace Oil Pressure Alert Needs Urgent Diagnosis

I faced similar symptoms with my Jaguar XF 2.0d when the oil pressure warning appeared. The dark oil color despite recent change was a clear sign of oil contamination, likely from fuel mixing with the oil due to a faulty fuel injector seal. This requires immediate attention as continued driving risks serious engine damage. When this happened to my XF, the diagnostic revealed excessive fuel dilution in the oil system. The repair involved: Complete oil system flush, Replacement of faulty injector seals, New oil filter installation, Fresh oil change, cleaning of the crankcase ventilation system The oil leak from the injector was causing increased pressure in the crankcase, triggering the warning lights. The contaminated oil had started affecting bearing surfaces, which could have led to complete engine failure if left unaddressed. Based on your mileage and symptoms, this is likely a similar issue requiring professional intervention. Driving the vehicle with these warning lights risks further engine damage. Consider having it towed to avoid additional repair costs. The dark oil despite recent change is particularly concerning, as clean oil should maintain its color longer. Have a professional check for fuel dilution in the oil immediately.

Thanks for sharing your experience with the XF. Your symptoms definitely sound similar to what I am seeing with my E Pace. The oil pressure warnings and dark oil color are concerning, especially since my previous oil changes always kept the oil looking cleaner much longer. Did you remember roughly how much the complete repair ended up costing? Also curious if you have had any related issues since the fix was done? Mine shows the exact same signs with contaminated oil and pressure warnings, so I am hoping to get a sense of the full scope of repairs needed. I am already arranging a tow to avoid any additional engine damage, but would appreciate knowing what to expect cost-wise for the oil system repairs you described.

After getting my XF fixed, I can report no more issues with oil contamination or pressure warnings. The complete repair, including the oil system flush, new seals, and parts came to 165€ since it was caught early enough. The main problem was actually just overdue maintenance that allowed oil sludge to build up. The key is addressing these engine oil issues quickly before they cause more extensive engine damage. The mechanic cleaned the entire system, replaced the necessary seals, and did a thorough flush to remove all contaminated oil. Since then, my oil stays clean between changes and pressure readings are completely normal. Smart move arranging a tow rather than risking it. The repair cost could have been much higher if I had continued driving with contaminated engine oil. Having dealt with the same symptoms, I suggest requesting a full diagnostic check of the oil system when they inspect your E Pace, just to rule out any other potential causes of oil pressure problems.

Update on my E Pace situation: Finally got the repair done at a different shop. Like many suggested, I had it towed there to prevent further engine damage. The mechanic found fuel contamination in the oil system and a clogged oil filter from excessive sludge buildup. The total fix came to 890€ which included: Complete oil system cleaning, New injector seals, Oil filter replacement, Fresh synthetic oil, Pressure sensor replacement More expensive than expected but worth it to avoid major engine problems. The oil pressure warning disappeared right after the service and the engine runs smoother now. Oil color is back to normal too. Learned my lesson about acting fast when seeing these warning signs. Good thing I didnt drive it there, the mechanic said the oil additives in the contaminated oil were breaking down, which could have seized the engine. Going to stick with this new shop from now on since they took time to explain everything and show me the damaged parts.
