Buy 5 liters of the right oil from the dealer, buy an OEM filter off eBay, and do it yourself with a vacuum extractor (about $60 for a good one) from the oil filler hole in the valve cover (there is an extraction tube built right into the engine). The oil filter is also right on top of the engine. If you insist on removing the last ounce of old oil, you can do it the old-school way from the bottom of the oil pan. The oil change franchises will not have the right oil or the filter.

Don't ever do this! Why would anyone do this to any car, less luxury roadster like F-type?!
F-type requires specific Synthetic oil. It doesn't have an oil dip stick and requires a tool to read oil level. Take it to a dealer or at least licensed mechanic for maintenance or you will end up wrecking engine and JLR for-cause rejecting warranty.

This is the official take on Jaguar Oil change intervals
Ours is one year old next month with 6500 miles on the clock, so I will be taking him in to the Dealer like I always do. They keep all the services on file which means there won't be, or shouldn't be, any dispute as to where and when I got the Oil changed if anything catastrophic happens.
Cost? Well, my Range Rover Sport is also a year old, I took it in a couple of weeks ago and it was just under $300, so I expect the Jag to be around the same.

Interesting that changing all your oil, not just some of your oil, at an oil change is considered old school. I'm a bit that way, I even pump my tires all the way up :-)

Is it a brave new world ?
Old habits die hard....never before (for me) 15000 km before an oil change....always, 1000km +/- before 1st change, always change oil before laying the car up for the winter ( as acids/moisture in the old oil bathes the bearings over the winter..bad...). Best plan is to not start it up until spring What does one do now ?
Can buy CastrolEdge with titanium 0-20 lots of places...but apparently the Jag recommended oil has "unobtanium" in it in addition to the titanium.....and my dealer only buys in 50 gal drums and chuckled politely about selling me any in a container.
As an aside...with the awd models haven't we concluded it is 6.5 L is the magic number to avoid an overfill.
Please keep he ideas coming.
