You Sir, are my friggin hero! As a country boy I’ve done tons of oil changes on anything you can think of. My accountant wife bought this Gucci car and I felt like a moron trying to figure this thing out.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. My wife just bought a 2018 Discovery Sport with the 2 liter turbocharged engine and I am brushing up on maintenance info including oil changes. I've been using a pneumatic oil extractor for over 15 years on my E39 BMW, and since the Discovery still has an oil dipstick, I'm going to try using it on this as well, sucking out the old oil through the dipstick. The oil filter being up top is also nice since I won't have to get under the vehicle at all for an oil change. Great video.
Great video! I had cardiac arrest when the local dealer told me what an oil change/service costs!! Absolutely insane! Thank You for doing the video! Great job! I owe you a six pack.
All Land Rovers 2010 and later have provisions to drain the engine oil using a vacuum oil extractor. You don't need to jack up the car and remove the underbody protection. An oil extractor is cheaper than a floor jack and jackstands, and a lot easier to use.
I've never seen a used oil filter that bad. It was so plugged and covered in sludge that oil was likely bypassing (via the bypass valve) the filter entirely.
I changed it not long after getting it. Thankfully it hasn’t looked that gnarly since. Hopefully there’s no long term damage if the previous owner fudged the oil change interval.
@@phog_vision How many miles were on it when you got it? Based on experience, I would bet it had never been serviced. I would suggest no more than 5k oil changes for a while as you try to dissolve all the sludge inside the engine.
Very nice and clear video. Very informative that makes think twice before heading to the dealer and pay over $400.00 just for an oil change. Thank you very much. Maybe in the future you can show also how to change brake pads on the sama model car.
Changing my oil again so checking ur video again. Still very grateful for your help. I did notice that motul oil just jumped to $27 a quart on Amazon, cool bottles aren’t worth that. I checked Mobil 1 syn. and they say it works for the special spec, if my engine blows up I’ll let you know😁
Glad the vid was helpful. That sucks on the oil. I'm like you, who cares about cool bottles, it was the $10 price tag I liked. 3X that is nuts. I've got about 4K until my next oil change. Guess I better start looking now. They REALLY want to force us to go to the dealership don't they?
Just a follow up. I ended up going to the dealer for the Land Rover oil. Ended up being $11 a quart so not super crazy. Anything on Amazon is still outrageous.
My evoque didn’t blow up with the Mobil 1 but I just went to dealer here in CA and bought oil too. They use a Castrol edge professional which says LR/Jaguar on the side. Just under $100 with tax. Again will let u know if it blows up😁
Just spoke to the dealer and they still say 16K is good. BMW switched from 15K to 10K intervals a few years ago. Moving forward I’m going to 10K. The Land Rover spec oil isn’t cheap but it beats a new motor!
Thank you, it is very useful. Do you know why at least here in Spain Land Rover recommends 0w30 for diesel engine? It is because 0w20 is for petrol engine? And It would be amazing a video with the fuel filter replacement
did you notice any difference between motul and castrol? i know they recommend castrol but castrol has a very bad reputation around here.. so i was looking at alternatives, also wish i could put atleast 0w30 in it, that oil is as thin as water..
hi, I don't know if you still have this car but I would like to ask what experience you have with this engine. I have the opportunity to buy such a car from 2019 with the same engine. It's not as popular a car as BMW, VW or Audi. Should I be worried? The car has a very low mileage but I am asking in general from your experience or friends. Thx in advance
It’s been okay. We’ve had some big repairs done under warranty I’m glad we didn’t have to pay for. Not looking forward to the next big thing. If you’re under warranty it’s great but after that I’d be careful.
I bought a filter on Amazon trusting their fitment recommendations. Don't do that, it's for a spin on type filter which won't work. That's why I paid a bit more for the Land Rover OEM filter.
Does this work for the manual gearbox ? It & other you tubers methods don't work on my parents car & all the videos have the same thing in common, they are automatic with only 2 pedals - brake & accelerator
Sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately I don't know the answer. It seems like adding a clutch wouldn't mess with how the oil is changed but with Land Rover...you never know.
Looks like my link to the Walmart one I used isn't working. Here it is again. Not sure why it's not working for you. It's the Hyper Tough Walmart brand 64mm 14 flute oil filter wrench. www.walmart.com/ip/Hyper-Tough-64MM-Oil-Filter-Wrench-Model-4207/836772683
It’s been a while since the last change. I believe it’s a bolt with a built in rubber washer. It’s been in good shape the last 2 oil changed so I haven’t messed with it. No leaking issues.
