Oil Maintenance & Service Tips
Check oil level every 1,000 miles using the electronic dipstick or physical dipstick on older models. Add oil if the level falls below the minimum mark, but never exceed the maximum fill line. Overfilling can cause oil foaming and catalytic converter damage.
Change engine oil and filter at manufacturer-specified intervals. Use only Land Rover-approved oil specifications: STJLR.51.5122 for 0W-20 applications, STJLR.03.5007 for 0W-30, and STJLR.03.5003 for 5W-30. Non-approved oils may not provide adequate protection for the variable valve timing or supercharger systems.
Replace the oil filter with every oil change. Pre-fill the new filter with clean oil before installation to prevent dry starts. Inspect the oil drain plug washer and replace if damaged or worn to prevent leaks. Torque the drain plug to the specified value using a torque wrench.
Normal vs. Severe Driving Conditions
| Condition Type | Oil Change Interval | Driving Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Normal | Every 10,000 miles or 12 months | Highway cruising, light city driving |
| Severe | Every 5,000 miles or 6 months | Off-road use, towing, extreme temperatures, frequent idling |
Severe driving conditions require more frequent oil changes due to increased engine stress and contamination. Owners operating in severe conditions should follow the shortened maintenance schedule to ensure engine longevity.
FAQs Section
What kind of oil does a Land Rover Range Rover Sport use?
The Land Rover Range Rover Sport uses full synthetic oil in viscosities of 0W-20, 0W-30, or 5W-30 depending on engine type and model year. Diesel engines typically require 5W-30, while modern gasoline engines use 0W-20 or 0W-30.
