Land Rover states that oil should be changed every 15,000 miles in most Discovery premium SUVs. Synthetic oil should generally be replaced at 7500-10,000 miles.
Land Rover also recommends using their Land Rover Approved Oil, designed to protect your engine.
If you’re unsure of how much oil to add to your Land Rover Discovery, consult the owner’s manual. It’s always best to err on the side of caution and add a little less oil than what is recommended. You can always top off the oil if needed, but removing oil from the engine is difficult if you’ve added too much.
Checking and changing your Land Rover Discovery’s oil regularly is an important part of keeping your SUV in good condition. By following Land Rover’s recommendations, you can be sure that your Discovery will continue to run smoothly for years to come.
