This factory service and repair manual for the 1996 Jaguar XJR is built around this exact year, engine and trim, matching the 4.0L supercharged inline-six known internally as the AJ16, so the specs and procedures inside are the ones Jaguar actually published for this car, not an approximation pulled from another model year.
Engines
- 4.0L L6 (VIN 1, AJ16) Supercharged Gas

Known issues on the 1996 XJR. One recall is on federal record for this model year, covering aftermarket FRAM replacement fuel filters installed on the vehicle: the connector on the filter was made outside Honeywell's specification, which can keep the O-ring from seating correctly at the fuel line connection, allowing a fuel leak that can ignite in the presence of an ignition source. No complaints or technical service bulletins are logged for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures for the fuel system are here.
Whether you're inspecting the fuel filter connection, servicing the supercharged AJ16 six, or working through a routine maintenance interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and correct spec for your specific 1996 XJR.
CERTAIN REPLACEMENT FUEL FILTERS, FRAM BRAND NAME P/N G3727, WITH DATE CODES X52911 THROUGH X60801 SEQUENTIALLY OR X600141 AND A MEXICO COUNTRY OR ORIGIN MARKING ON THE FUEL FILTER HOUSING MANUFACTURE
