ENGINE OIL CHECK
The oil consumption of an engine is influenced
by many factors. Under high loads an engine
will consume more oil than usual. Diesel
engines consume slightly more oil than petrol
engines.
Check the oil level weekly, when the engine is
cold and with the vehicle resting on level
ground.
Checking the oil level
Note: If it is necessary to check the oil level
when the engine is hot, switch off the engine
and let the vehicle stand for five minutes to
allow the oil to drain back into the sump. Do not
start the engine. 1.
Withdraw the dipstick and wipe the blade
clean with a lint free cloth.
2. Fully re-insert the dipstick and withdraw
again to check the oil level. Never allow the
oil level to fall belo w the lower mark or
notch on the dipstick.
As a general guide, if th e level on the dipstick:
• Is nearer to the upper mark or notch than
the lower, add no oil.
• Is nearer to the lower mark or notch than
the upper, add half a li tre (one pint) of oil.
• Is below the lower mark or notch, add one
litre (two pints) of oil and re-check the level
after a further five minutes.
WARNINGS
While working in the engine
compartment, always observe the
safety precautions liste d under Safety in the
garage. See GENERAL INFORMATION
(page 157).
Do not drive the vehicle if there is a
possibility that leaked fluid will come
into contact with a hot surface, such as the
exhaust. A resulting fi re may cause death or
serious injury.

Topping up the oil
1. Unscrew the oil filler cap.
2. Add oil to maintain the level between the
MIN and MAX marks or notches on the
dipstick. Clean up any oil spilled during
topping-up.
3. Check the oil level again after 5 minutes.
It is essential to use the correct specification
oil, and to ensure it is suitable for the climatic
conditions in which the vehicle is to be
operated.
Note: The approximate quantity of oil required
to raise the level from MIN to MAX on the
dipstick is 0.8 litres (1.4 pints) - petrol models
or 1.5 litres (2.6 pi nts) - diesel models.
Engine oil specification
Land Rover recommends Castrol oils.
ENGINE COOLANT CHECK
If the quantity of fluid in the coolant
reservoir drops below the
recommended level, an amber
warning indicator in the instrument pack will
illuminate. Stop the vehicle and check the
coolant level.
On vehicles with a message centre, the
message LOW COOLANT LEVEL or COOLING
SYSTEM FAULT MONITOR GAUGE will be
displayed in place of the warning indicator.
Checking the coolant level
The coolant level in the expansion tank should
be checked at least week ly (more frequently in
high mileage or arduous operating conditions).
Always check the level when the system is
cold.
Ensure the coolant level is maintained between
the level indicator marks located on the side of
the expansion tank.
CAUTIONS
Your vehicle warranty may be invalidated
if damage is caused by using oil that
does not meet the required specification.
Failure to use an oil that meets the
required specification could cause
excessive engine wear, a build up of sludge
and deposits, and increase pollution. It could
also lead to engine failure.
Overfilling with oil could result in severe
engine damage. Oil should be added in
small quantities and the level re-checked to
ensure that the engine is not overfilled.
Model Specification
Petrol engine Use only 0W-30 engine oil, meeting ACEA A5 or
B5 specification.
Diesel engine Use only 5W-30 oil meeting Ford 913-B
specification.
CAUTION
Running the engine without coolant will
cause serious engine damage.
