@anthonypat05 Yea I switched to Wix filters. My local OReillys stocks them and they seat perfectly.

the reason so many people have tranny problems with these cars is cause the tranny gets to hot i would def. recommend you put a tranny cooler with a temp sensor and a fan and mount it in front of the A/C condensor. and put some good synthetic trans fluid in it and you will never have a problem with it again. just a tip to save you 2 grand in the future.

@cbr900rr919 The transmission in the post 03's runs on mineral type trans fluid. If you put anything different in there you will most likely be needing a new transmission. The stuff at the Range Rover dealers seems to be the cheapest. A few guys on the forums have used Castrol Multi import with good luck.

@cbr900rr919 The car already comes with a transmission cooler and I'm not really sure of all the people with transmission problems they must have pre-03s regular S types with the Ford trans that has issues. The R's have a pretty solid trans. I've rarely seen anyone with a problem with them on the boards. There is a great video posted on youtube for a tran filter and fluid replace for an XK8 which is the same trans that is an excellent write up for anyone looking for info on that.

Hey man! I love your jag. I'm actually going to pick an 03' s type r this week. Have you had any problems with yours? Are they pretty reliable? Thanks a ton!

@z06vette2009 Check out jaguarforums. com. There are some issues to look into. I havent had much go wrong with mine just basic prevenative maintenance so far.

also you can wet the filter put oil in it before you put it on that way the pressure rises faster. royal purple is a great oil for these cars. also k&n makes a great oil filter and has a nut on the end of it so its easy to uninstall. Mobil is alright but i would put a better synthetic in it than Mobil. red line or royal purple is good and has extended change intervals. also change tranny fluid with royal purple and install a tranny cooler. i put one on with a fan and full synthetic in whole car
