I do all my cars at 7500

Why would they decrease the interval when the same engine and oil are used from 2011 to 2015??

I'm so sorry..You're right..I don't know were the hell I got 12,000 miles from..I meant 15,000 miles..

I was doing my GMC Denali's oil today and I had 12,000 on the brain for last couple of days..doh!!..Sorry

The article link is interesting. Next time I go in for service I will talk to the service advisor and ask him to show me my glowing oil. If it doesn't glow I am going to raise a **** fit!

You will probably find a number of things you (or any of us) could do to violate their warranty! Virtually any car has a requirement that you use oil specified for the car. Agreed? And, in this case Jaguar uses an oil with an obscure specification. Blather all you want, but if you do not use the specified oil, you are subject to an argument for warranty. And you might very well wimn in court. Most folks who threaten to "take him to court" have never dealt with litigation.
