A little early is never a bad thing especially considering this engine is supercharged. For instance, my little 1.4l multiair turbo says 10k miles (full synthetic) are good, but through dyno testing, we found that around 6k the engine starts to pull timing since the valves are fluctuated using oil pressure and its not as fluid. Not exactly the same principle here, but just saying its never a bad Idea to replace it a couple thousand early, especially on a vehicle of this caliber.

Or do what I do and send a sample of oil out for testing, the oil change is based on oil quality of the additive package.
this is one of the best places to use. then you will know for sure if your oil needs replacing. Cost $ 25

The oil is chemically contaminated which renders it unsuitable, it's not just a matter of solids.

I assume you mean oil plugs. Metal chips either fall to the bottom and stay there or are trapped in the filter along with other solid debris. Many modern engines don't have drain plugs, the old oil is sucked out from the top.

Magnet for your oil filter.
They do make a magnet that wraps around your oil filter so they are universal. But , they aren't cheap and I'm not so sure how well they work. I've never bought one. I'm pretty sure you can buy on at Summit Racing or Jegs. Last time I saw one I think it was about $60.00.

If I were an F Type owner, other than proper maintenance which is always important, I would be more concerned about warranty issues down the road. For the $150 fee to change the oil annually, you have eliminated one loophole for Jaguar to pursue in case of the that unlikely engine failure while under warranty.
