Oil change intervals
AMSOIL has recommended oil change intervals of 25,000 and 35,000 (I believe they also have a type where the change interval is a lot less, such as 7,000 - which, to me doesn't seem to be worth it, since I put a lot of miles on most of my vehicles) depending on the oil you get. Oil filter change intervals are 1/2 the oil change, depending on the type driving you are into, such as if you drive on dirt roads all the time, regular traffic or highway driving.
I only just got my Jag and it isn't running yet, so I can't tell you about this particular car (I believe the cylinders are nikasil), but my other cars, being Honda Civic (307k), Oldsmobile Aurora (250k), F-350 (386k - and I recently put in an oil filter bypass system), F-150(s) (270k and 285k) seem to indicate that those change intervals are okay.
You might check with an AMSOIL dealer for your specific car.

My '04 XJ8 now has 162K miles. I am the original owner and I change my own oil at around 7500 miles. I always use Castrol 5W/30W Synthetic Blend and Fram filters (PH5618). The engine runs smooth and uses less than .5 quart between oil changes, and still delivers 31 mpg on trips. I think I'll stick with this approach.

I see this thread is active again !
Jaguar recommend on oil change miles is a service every 10,000 miles or every year, and this includes oil and filter change . Nothing strange there then ! If you do a lot of short journeys, I personally change the oil and filter much sooner, lie about 7,500 or thereabouts, but then that's me, a cautious type. For me the mantra is "Oil is cheap, engines are expensive", and I am not a rich man.
"A stitch in time saves nine" (of whatever !!)
