I see a lot of people talking about doing short oil change intervals, but it's really unnecessary. The engine technology in a P300/P400 is light years ahead of the old Ford based petrol V8's which were used in the D3 & D4. These Ingenium engines were meant to be a best effort and close out the ICE era on a high note before we transition to EV.
The air fuel mixture on these engines is precise and lean and we run very close tolerances in these engines in tandem with big oil capacity. If your engine is seeing lots of stop and go, short trips, heavy off-roading and towing, adverse conditions, etc then I'd go with a 20,000 km/12,500 mile interval or one year- whichever comes sooner.
Of course, not everyone will believe this and will insist on changing the oil more often. The easiest way to determine for yourself if your oil has plenty of life left is to send a sample away for analysis. There are a few labs that will work with the public and give you a full report for a small fee. Oil life is not subjective or a grey area.
Final thought- use the oil we spec or that meets our specification. Standard run of the mill synthetic isn't going to handle a long interval well. You need lots of additives and a solid base to hold up over a long period of time and abuse.

Thank you so much Umberto, this is fantastic! I agree with your choice of oil. We were all confident in using Mobil 1 in the LR4 (Ford) engine, but we don't know what to expect from the new Ingenium engines.

8300 miles. I tried for 7500 which has always been my schedule in the past (with the LR4), but sourcing the correct oil and filter this first time turned out to be more challenging than I thought. Won't happen again.

Here's what I got from Castrol today. Look like we can use Castrol Edge 0w20 Synthetic. The one that come in the black bottle.
Castrol EDGE Professional EC 0W-20 replaces Castrol EDGE Professional E 0W-20.
Castrol EDGE Professional EC 0W-20 combines the cold climate performance of Castrol EDGE Professional E 0W-20 (STJLR.51.5122 oil spec) and the fuel economy of Castrol EDGE Professional E C5 0W-20 (STJLR.03.5006 oil spec) into one product.
Currently Castrol EDGE Professional EC 0W-20 is only available for purchase through Jaguar and Land Rover dealership locations.
Castrol EDGE 0W-20 EC (replaces Castrol EDGE 0W-20 E) sold retail in a 1 quart bottle size is also available covering Land Rover STJLR.51.5122 and STJLR.03.5006 oil specifications.

As mentioned in the video, the OEM oil filter is part # LR133455, available from a variety of sources (I found it on eBay and purchased a few.) I am not aware of aftermarket versions of it quite yet, although I am sure they are in the pipeline.
