This is what my handbook says in my Jaguar. Any thoughts? I believe what I'm looking at is correct..

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....

Ohhhh okay! That's good then.

By the way, whenever I turn on my left signal, the Autolamp turns on..but not on the right. It says, "Autolamp Delay 2:00". But right as my signal clicks off it goes away.

It's 10K / annual so if only going 6K/yr then change it then.

There will be "slack" (engineering tolerance) in these figures i.e. you could stretch them to longer but why would anyone...

Please start a new thread about your Auto lamp display.

I have seen this on my 2005 every once in a while. I think it's a problem with the turn signal stalk but mine does not do it very often so I tend to forget about until I see it again.

Reducing that figure yet again is double belts and suspenders.

If you really want to take care of your baby use the new Pennzoil Platinum synthetic motor oil. It is made from natural gas and it will clean your engine with the new detergents that can be used with the natural gas formula. This oil has also proven to have almost zero wear on engine components after 100k miles. Good stuff .
