How many liters of engine oil does a Land Rover Range Rover require?
2 Answers
Land Rover Range Rover requires 8 liters of engine oil. Engine oil, motor oil, or engine lubricant is a substance enhanced with additives in base oil, primarily containing anti-wear additives, detergents, dispersants, and multi-grade viscosity index improvers. Engine oil is used for lubricating internal combustion engines, with its main functions being to reduce friction and wear on moving parts, as well as to remove sludge (one of the functions of dispersants) and varnish from the engine. Taking the Range Rover 2021 3.0L6 Shengshi Edition as an example: its dimensions are 5000mm in length, 2073mm in width, and 1869mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2922mm. It is equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission and has a top speed of 209 kilometers per hour.
During my years of maintaining my Range Rover, I've noticed the oil capacity typically ranges between 8 to 9 liters depending on the specific engine model. My 2019 5.0L V8 petrol engine requires exactly 8.5 liters per oil change, while the 3.0L diesel variant takes slightly less at around 7.5 liters. I strongly recommend using full synthetic oil like 5W-30 – it's not worth saving money here as inferior oil accelerates engine wear. Regularly check the dipstick every 5,000 km to ensure oil level stays within normal range. Too low means insufficient lubrication causing overheating, while overfilling increases engine strain and potential leaks. When washing your car, remember to clean the dipstick tube opening – maintaining cleanliness ensures accurate readings. Never ignore warning lights; visit an authorized dealer promptly since Range Rover repairs are costly, and preventive maintenance saves significant money. Always verify oil quantity and condition before long-distance drives.
