When Should You Get an Oil Change?

If you're cruising around town in a Land Rover SUV, you'll need an oil change every 5,000 to 10,000 miles or six months, depending on your driving habits and vehicle. You can also check out your owner's manual. It will have more details on the exact service interval for your car.

Many Land Rover vehicles today also come with a dashboard light that turns on to let you know your oil levels are low and it is time to change your oil.


Why are Oil Changes Important?

Oil is a vital part of your vehicle. Your engine requires clean oil to run smoothly and avoid issues. To keep clean oil moving through your vehicle's engine, it's essential to replace it rather than top off low oil.

Oil lubricates the moving parts of your engine. This keeps all the parts moving smoothly and prevents any parts from damaging one another.

While the oil is circulating, it is also cooling certain components of your engine and transferring the heat, so no one part of your vehicle's engine grows too hot. An overheated engine can lead to expensive repairs and a shorter engine lifespan.

As the oil moves through your engine, it also picks up any debris or by-products of your engine's combustion. This keeps your engine clean and prevents anything from sticking.


Signs Your Vehicle Needs an Oil Change

There are a few warning signs that you should look for. They will let you know it's time to schedule an oil change. Some of these warning signs include:

  • Dark or dirty oil
  • Engine knocking
  • Excessive exhaust smoke
  • Oil smell inside the cabin

Dark or dirty oil can indicate that your oil is too dirty to continue to collect debris and cool your engine properly.

Engine knocking is often parts rubbing together that aren't properly lubricated by your oil. Parts that rub together can cause damage to one another as well as excessive friction and heat. Extra heat leads to an overheating engine.

Excessive exhaust smoke can indicate there is an oil leak or faulty engine parts. Oil leaks into somewhere it isn't supposed to, burning up and causing the smoke.

Do you notice the smell of oil inside your car? This can also be a sign of an oil leak. The oil that leaks into engine parts that it doesn't belong in will burn up and cause that smell.

You should also look for oil leaks. If you notice a spot in the driveway, it could mean you're due for an oil change. It could also signify problems, such as degraded engine gaskets.

One of our Land Rover service technicians will be able to diagnose the problem and get you back out on the road.
