We suggest changing the oil at 10,000
miles rather than the 15,000 specified by Land Rover because we have
seen damage from sludge with the longer intervals in “real life.” 15,000
miles may be fine under controlled conditions but we feel it's pushing
the envelope and the motorist is the one who pays if engine damage
results.
Oil filters for a BMW 740 may be used in this engine if Land Rover filters are unavailable. We suggest changing the “permanent” transmission fluid at 100,000 miles. No matter how good the fluid is, it will not last forever, and it carries an ever-increasing load of wear particles until it is flushed out. It is important to use the correct blue coolant in these engines. If no Land Rover coolant is available coolant can be bought from any BMW dealer. |
