well here is what 15k mile annual oil intervals gets you - from blackstone oil analysis:
"This is a very clean first report for your Discovery. Wear metals are a little lower than we've found on average from these 5.0L engines, and you ran the oil pretty close to the average interval of about 7,900 miles. That means your engine is wearing a little better than the other ones we have tested, and it will have no problem with an extended oil change interval. The TBN of 2.4 shows some additive left for more use (1.0 is too low), the oil filter easily kept up with insolubles, holding them to just 0.1%. Resample in about 9,000 miles to start wear trends."
