climatic conditions in which the vehicle is to
be operated. Precise specifications are shown
in ’Generaldata’. If in doubt, contact your
Land Rover dealer.

Check the oil levelat least every400 km
(250
miles) when the engine is HOTand with
the vehicle resting on levelground.
Switch off the engine and let the vehicle stand
for five minutes to allow the oil to drain back
into the sump. Withdrawthe dipstickand wipe
the blade clean and then fully reinsert the
