How many liters of engine oil does a Range Rover 5.0 require?
3 Answers
Range Rover 5.0 requires 7.5 liters of engine oil. When adding oil, ensure the oil level is between the min and max marks on the dipstick; otherwise, it may affect the normal operation of the engine. Taking the 2020 Range Rover 5.0 as an example, it belongs to the mid-to-large SUV category, with body dimensions of: length 5000mm, width 2073mm, height 1869mm, a wheelbase of 2922mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 104 liters. The 2020 Range Rover 5.0 features a double-wishbone independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 3.0L mechanical and turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 360PS, a maximum power of 265kW, and a maximum torque of 495Nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
I just had my Range Rover Sport 5.0 serviced at the 4S店. The technician said it takes 8.5 liters of full synthetic oil for an oil change. They used an oil extractor to completely remove the old oil and replaced the oil filter as well. Remember to choose manufacturer-certified oil specifications - last time I used the factory-recommended 0W-20. The technician mentioned that if the oil wasn't fully drained, 7.5 liters might suffice, but to protect the supercharger, it's better to add a bit more. After the service, I specifically monitored it for a few days - the engine noise became noticeably quieter, and the metal friction sound during cold starts disappeared. Regular oil changes as specified in the manual are crucial for engine longevity, especially for high-performance machines like this.
My auto repair shop frequently services Range Rover 5.0 models, and this vehicle requires a substantial amount of engine oil. The base oil capacity is 7.5 liters, but replacing the oil filter increases the total system consumption to 8.5 liters. An interesting observation: the oil dipstick shows half a mark lower in summer than in winter due to thermal expansion and contraction. Our technicians add oil in three stages - initial fill, engine startup and circulation, then top-up - to prevent overfilling. We've had cases where DIY customers overfilled, triggering catalytic converter fault codes. For oil brands, we recommend Castrol or Mobil, with viscosity selected according to local climate. After an oil change, it's best to run the engine at high speed for several minutes before rechecking the level.
