Just used my tire and wheel warranty

while washing and waxing today, I noticed a VERY small budge on my sidewall. I stopped by my dealer on a drive today and they confirmed that they believe I hit a pothole (I know I did) and stated the cords probably pinched the sidewall.
They are replacing it free of charge because I purchased the tire and wheel protection. No questions asked, very easy to deal with, and happy to take care of me.
Also, while there, I asked about the "Jaguar required engine oil" and found they sold it for $14.00 a quart. This Castrol OE Edge Professional 0w20 apparently is not sold retail in the US, and there are no other oils available that meet the Jaguar spec...
I've found this oil on Ebay for over $20 a quart. I just might but a few cases and resell it myself. (You know people hate going to the dealer to buy oil...)
(And yes, I do know I have free yearly oil changes at the dealer. I tend to like having at least a quart of oil on my garage shelf just in case I need to top off, and, I'll probably change oil more than once per year. I tend to drive my cars fairly hard.)

Personally I'll just let the service team handle it on the yearly oil changes, but if I want to do an out of cycle change, I'd like to understand my options.

What is so special about the Castrol OE Edge Pro 0w20 motor oil? I usually prefer to use Mobil 1, couldn't we just use the Mobil 1 version of 0w20? As I understand it, most of the time when companies are being stickers over specific motor oils (particularly in the ultra low viscocity range like 0w20), they are doing so for CAFE reporting purposes not specifically related to the engine characteristics if everything else is equal.

$60/case on Amazon
I guess this is 5W-20, not 0W-20.

Hmm, thought there was an addendum calling for 5W-20. If unavailable (or ambient temps fall lower than -20C), use 0W-20. It was posted on here somewhere...
Edit: here it is...

0w-20 is likely recommended over 5w20 due to the potential benefits to fuel efficiency and in cold temperatures. In the warmer months, there should be no reason to worry about 0w20.
At least the above holds true with most cars. I'd verify with your Jaguar service team to be sure, though they may not want you doing your own oil changes and state 0w20 for that reason alone.

There still needs to be legal tread on the tire, but there is no proration. When my tires get to 4 or 5/32, I might just run over a box of screws for 4 new tires....
I do live in a new development and I have had 5 nails or screws in tires over the past 3 years on my other vehicles.
Also, with this plan, I don't have to buy certificates from discount tire or tire rack...

My dealer offered it. I paid less than $1000 for 5 years 60,000 miles. If I ever damage a wheel where it is bent or cracked, or won't hold air, the wheel is replaced. Does not cover curb rash... The cool part is if a tire is ever damaged they replace it. Have a nail or screw in the tire? No patch... new tire. Get a sidewall problem from hitting a pot hole. .. we tire... I didn't ask or read fine print about the track, but if it gets damaged, how does anyone know where it was damaged... new tire....
