2014 Jaguar F-Type

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2014 F-Type.

Body PASSENGER CARTransmission Automatic (S8)

The 2014 Jaguar F-Type is a passenger car equipped with a 7.5‑qt engine that uses 0W‑20 oil, mated to an eight‑speed automatic transmission and achieving EPA fuel‑economy ratings of 20 city, 28 highway, and 23 combined mpg. Its early reliability record shows only two owner complaints and two recalls, marking 2014 as the lowest complaint year in the 2014‑2021 complaint history while later years, especially 2016, rose to eleven complaints, suggesting a strong initial build quality that later gave way to increased issues. Consequently, the 2014 model serves as a reference point for evaluating the F‑Type’s durability trends over its production run.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 16,000 mi; spark plugs every 96,000 mi; coolant every 16,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 16,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

In 2014 the F‑Type recorded 2 complaints and 2 recalls, a relatively low level compared to the following years, where complaints rose to a peak of 11 in 2016 before dropping again to 2 in 2017. The recall count stayed modest throughout, with 2 recalls in 2014, 3 in 2015, and only 1 in 2016, indicating no sharp increase in safety‑related defects during that generation. Investigations remained zero across all years, so no major regulatory scrutiny was reported. The 2014 model’s top complaint areas—Engine and Electrical System/Air Bags—each accounted for one complaint, and the single fire complaint suggests an isolated incident rather than a systemic problem. Overall, 2014 sits near the lower end of the complaint trend, implying a comparatively cleaner early‑generation record. Therefore, a 2014 F‑Type is a reasonable choice, provided a thorough pre‑purchase inspection confirms no hidden issues.
