Engine Oil
CHECK & TOP-UP
Engine Oil
Check the oil level at least every 250 miles
(400
km) when the engine is COLD and with the
vehicle resting on level ground.
NOTE: If it is necessary to check the oil level
when the engine is hot, switch off the engine
and let the vehicle stand for five minutes to
allow the oil to drain back into the sump. DO
NOT start the engine.
As a general guide, if the level on the dipstick:

•
•
•
is nearer to the upper mark than the lower,
add no oil.
is nearer to the lower mark than the upper,
add half a US quart (0.5 liter) of oil.
is below the lower mark, add one US quart
(1
liter) of oil and re-check the level after a
further five minutes.
Oil specification
It is essential to use an oil suitable for the
climatic conditions in which the vehicle is to be
operated. Precise specifications are shown in
‘LUBRICANTS AND FLUIDS’, page 239. If in
doubt, contact your Land Rover retailer.

Withdraw the dipstick and wipe the blade
clean.
Fully re-insert the dipstick and withdraw
again to check the level, which should
NEVER be allowed to fall below the lower
mark on the dipstick.

To top-up, unscrew the oil filler cap and
add oil to maintain the level between the
UPPER and LOWER marks on the dipstick.
DO NOT OVERFILL!
CAUTION: Oil levels above the MAX mark may
cause engine damage, in which case some oil
must be removed from the engine by a service
technician.
