After I bought my Jaguar XKR (2009) and had it delivered (just like you), I took the car down to the local Jag dealer (60 miles away) and had an oil change, filter, and overall inspection of all fluids and general inspection of the car. I needed two new trunk lights as they were pulled out for some reason. Cost of everything was $120.00. The dealer set me up on their computer system. A few days later I checked on CarFax and CarFax had the service record of my oil change, filter and lamp replacement on the report. I liked that, so that Carfax had a continuing record of the service of the car in case I wanted to sell it in the future.
I then contacted a local shop with a long history working on foreign cars including Jaguar. They stated they would change the oil and filter for $90.00.
I use synthetic oil and believe that the car takes slightly over 7 quarts. I have purchased a K&N oil filter specific for the 2009 XKR that was $15.00 on-line.
I used Amsoil brand in my Formula F1000 race car and if going the independent route I will use the Amsoil brand for the Jag. I have yet to try to change the oil myself. I understand there is a plastic sheet under the engine area that has to be removed to gain access to the filter for removal.
Since it is a premium car, I don't mind paying the $100 or so. Materials alone are costly due to the synthetic oil costs. The Jaguar dealer insisted on using their own oil brands and filter.
Hope this helps.
