Default Easy Air Filter change...

Was at the dealer for my 4th complimentary annual service, oil & filter change, cabin air filter change. But advisor said engine air filter is not included, & it'll be almost $300 (after taxes & labor/shop fees) to replace the 2 filters.
So I went to local Advance Auto Parts & picked up 2 Purolator One Air Filters, Part # A24866, on sale for $11.35 each.

Watched YouTube video, where it shows just 7 screws per box, & it took 5 minutes each side to replace. Easy peasy...

Another terrific example of dealership rip-offs.
Every item performed in your list can be done while wearing a tuxedo. Hey, what a great idea for a YouTube video!
For these service items, all one needs is a T-20 screwdriver for the air boxes, a 90mm oil filter socket, and a suction device for the motor oil. You could buy every one of these items AND all the disposables for this service for half the price your dealer wanted for the engine air filter service alone.

The cabin filter on the X351 is easy too!

On the F-Pace it's a real pain, you end up taking half the dash apart to get to it.

Yep, I replaced or cleaned the engine air filters on my old XFR a few of times, quick and easy.
Unfortunately the F-Type (and XK) are much more difficult and time consuming as the air filters are in a completely different spot, down low behind the front bumper / in front of the front wheels. Good for cold air induction (with intake snorkels mounted behind the front grille), a real PITA to change the filters!

I am surprised the engine air filters are not included in the 5 years of maintenance agreement. I am wondering if the advisor was lying to you about that? Is the air filter service listed in the scheduled maintenance?

Then is sounds like he was lying, and you cost yourself $22.70 plus your time to replace something you already paid for in the price of the car:

Complimentary scheduled maintenance coverage for all new Jaguar models covers factory recommended scheduled maintenance as detailed in the Passport to Service for 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever occurs first.

If I waited 3 years to change the air filters I would feel negligent.

They are cheap enough DIY that once a year is tolerable and obviously better for the intake system. I usually keep a couple on hand for future use since they are so cheap.

If I had to pay $300 each time I would work to find a better solution than a dealer for sure.

At least if he told you once every year, then he wasn't lying that those extra filter changes aren't included in complimentary maintenance. Jag would only pay for one in the 5 years, not 5 of them. Still a scumbag.
