Car won't start after oil change .My brother and I changed the oil on his S type jaguar he just bought. when we were done it wouldn't start. I asked him what did he do. he said he drained the oil from the filter because he couldn't find the drain plug so we put the new filter on and replaced the oil that drained. The car is trying to start but won't turn over. Any suggestions?
Sounds like overfill oil pressure too high. Oil level is critical. Engine can be damaged.
See my Solution for oil change.
I did oil filter change on jaguar S-type and now car is cranking but not starting...its got plenty of battery power...ok so i jacked up car from one side using Jack in the trunk then I saw the oil filter underneath and removed it...some oil came out then I replaced with new one and that's it... i couldn't find drain plug so I just lowered car back down....ok then I just added half bottle oil to top it off.. after that the car cranks and cranks like the gas is empty...doesn't want to start...no spitting no nothing....Ok then I checked all the related fuses like F.I.& Fuel pump in all places....Under hood... in trunk...passenger side but all fuses are good... OK then I pushed that button in multiple times, the one on driver's side called inertia switch..but it's all right....ok everybody what's left for me to do is to go back over my steps and see if I missed something...so I'm gonna Jack up the car again and check it out......
After topping up with oil. My S-Type won't start
After topping up with oil. my jaguar S-type cranking but no start....all i did was jack up my jaguar then crawling underneath...was able to remove old oil filter then some old oil leaked out. then replaced with new Purolater oil filter....did not touch the oil drain plug...afterwards lower car back down then finally topped up with almost half quart synthetic blend 10W-30 oil....Now Car is cranking n cranking but won't start up n run....
Absolutely mysterious.....??
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE............So update is that when I had initially topped up the motor oil in my S-Type few days ago my mistake was i had overfilled it....and that's why it was acting this way.......thank you everybody for your patience and have a BLESSED DAY!! ??
What is the frequency of oil change of jaguar 2004 x-type

Your drain hose is under towards the bottom of the car, up against the firewall. You may be able to blow it out from the cowl. You may just have to do a fresh air service which is a special foam that kills the bacteria and such that builds on the evaporator from it sitting.

you can't just drain it. would have to siphon it out or drop the tank.

OK. I have more info. before I arrived at his house he tried to start the car with filter off to help drain the oil. I told him to take to the dealer or a shop but he thought he could do it. Has this damaged the engine even though it never turned over?
