I dumped the factory fill oil and changed the filter at 2754 miles on my 2021 Jaguar F Type R and sent the sample to Blackstone Labs. The engine is the 5.0 Liter Supercharged V8. Note that Jaguar/Land Rover requires the specially formulated Castrol Edge Professional EC5, specification STJLR.03.5006 in 0W-20 which is only available from dealerships and is different from the off the shelf Castrol Edge and Edge Professional blends. I am assuming the EC5 specification is what the factory fill oil was.
I am surprised at the low levels of Moly. The owners manual says 16,000 mile OCI's are recommended. I'll probably pull another sample at around the 7500 mile mark but am apprehensive about running 16k mile OCI's. The report is attached. Comments are appreciated.
