Small oil change question(s)

Just did mine with a MityVac 7201 last week. Used a black Sharpie to highlight the fluid markings on the Mity. Was only able to pull 6 liters, so replaced just 6 liters. Added oil back using a funnel the old way and then Dawn/water to rinse the Mity. Doesn't need to be since I only use it to pull oil out, but I like to keep my tools clean and neat. A check of the oil level showed it was just right. Same level as before the change. Super easy job. The hardest part was finding oil that met the latest Jag STJR.03.5006 spec.

Why this Kirkland oil?
You have a car that is not my 2013 VW golf. It is a true precision machine and deserves the best. You can save $$ doing the oil changes yourself. After buying the extractor, 8 litres of LiquiMoly from FCP is about $100, an @ savings of $200 over having the dealer do it. Please consider economizing somewhere else and give your Jaguar the oil that is designed for it.

And your maintenance is every 16K or 1 year, whichever comes first. So if you are driving 8K a year or less you should be fine. You must schedule the appointment within 30 days of the car notifying you that it's time for service for it to be covered under the warranty service.

Attached is the document outlining the spec. There are only a couple of oils on the market that meet it, including certain Castrol Professional E and Liquid Moly.

EDIT: I found Top Tec 6600 so we’re good.
