Land Rover Service Scheduling
2006–2009 Range Rover/Sport/Supercharged Vehicles
These are the first Range Rovers to use the Ford/Jaguar modular engine and drivetrain system. Here is an overview of the recommended services:
First of all, services intervals follow a repeating pattern of oil and filter change, A service, and oil and filter change, B service.
The oil and filter change is an oil service – every six months or every 10,000km – plus a quick visual inspection. If any warning lights are lit, they should be checked out with IDS. The oil service reminder gets reset.
The A service has a much longer inspection checklist in addition to the oil change. Remove the wheels, check the brakes, clean and grease the wheel hubs (important) and rotate the tires. The Dynamic Response valve block should be cleaned, and the filter changed. The pollen filter should be changed.
The B service is similar to the A service, but with a longer inspection checklist. In addition to the checklists, LR asks for these fluids to be changed as shown:
We suggest sticking to the 10,000km oil service interval and also strongly suggest the use of a high quality Synthetic Oil. The incremental costs of these premium fluids are trivial when compared to the expense of any internal engine repair that might otherwise result from sludge building or accelerated wear. The brake fluid change interval is based on brake fluid’s natural tendency to absorb moisture from the air. We also recommend scanning all systems at every service. The reason: It’s the only way to tell if electronic faults are current or recent. If you never do a full system scan and clear you could have a system fault when the truck is four years old, and find the relevant diagnostic codes hidden by a plethora of other codes that came and went over the life of the vehicle. Codes need to be read, evaluated, and cleared on a regular basis. Not doing so renders the sophisticated diagnostic systems useless.
2010–2013 Range Rover/Sport/Supercharged Vehicles
For the 2010 model year, Land Rover has changed to a much larger increase in basic service interval. We however do no recommend this and believe that oil changes should be performed more often to keep from incurring larger costs down the road. We recommend to perform an Oil Service every 10,000km or annually, whichever comes first. High performance synthetic oil is required.
Here are the other highlights of the newest service schedule:
In many cases, improvements in service parts, fluids, and vehicle design do make these longer service intervals possible without compromise. Unfortunately, if the extended service intervals prove insufficient, LR warranty will be long since expired, and the owner will be left to face what might have been preventable failures. So we recommend sticking to "Euroworks" Oil Service Plan to keep a longer life out of all moving parts and less failures to occur in the future.

The B service is similar to the A service, but with a longer inspection checklist. In addition to the checklists, LR asks for these fluids to be changed as shown:
- Brake fluid – every 50,000km
- Automatic transmission fluid – every 100,000km
- Coolant
- Transfer box fluid – every 100,000km
- Front and rear axle oil
- Locking differential oil – every 100,000km

Here are the other highlights of the newest service schedule:
- Thanks to a larger element, the change interval on the air filter has been increased to 100,000 km
- The cabin pollen filter is called out for change annually
- Brake fluid is now changed every three years
- Coolant is rated for longer limits, but we recommend flush every 2 years
- Spark plugs are per check basis
- The fan belts are per check basis
- Automatic transmission fluid and regular differential fluids every 100,000km
- Transfer case, locking differential, and dynamic response fluids every 100,000km
- The fuel filter are per check basis
- Land Rover is now calling for replacement of the flexible brake hoses every six years Instead of calling for a full system scan, LR now says, “If fault lamps are lit check with IDS.”
