New Jaguar S-Type Owner
#22
That is NOT an oil change interval. That is telling you to expect your new engine to require around 3,000 miles for normal break-in. You may not have the "Passport To Service" booklet that came with your car when it was new. In it, the oil & filter change interval is indeed specified at 10,000 miles....

As are the 10K interval owners, AFAIK.
The interval chosen by the OEM is not an ultimate ragged-edge limit- it's an already conservative number designed to encompass even the lowest common denominators. This ensures that premature engine wear due to contaminated oil does not become a reliability issue- not that Jag ever had experience with those.
Reducing that figure yet again is double belts and suspenders.
