Problem overview

Some Jaguar XF owners report experiencing restricted performance issues indicated by a yellow oil light after an oil change, which can be triggered by factors such as a split hose, sooted electronic turbo actuators, or concerns with the diesel particulate filter (DPF). These owners emphasize the importance of checking error codes and conducting a diagnostics check to accurately identify the cause of the restricted performance mode, as multiple issues may be at play. Additionally, some report that the warning may be intermittent, particularly when accelerating quickly or driving at higher speeds, suggesting potential engine or component problems. Regular maintenance, including monitoring oil levels and ensuring timely oil changes, is highlighted as crucial to prevent such performance issues. Therefore, it is advisable for owners experiencing these symptoms to conduct a thorough diagnostic check to restore their vehicle's performance.
