Land Rover Discovery Sport Oil Change Interval

The Land Rover Discovery Sport is favored by many Los Angeles SUV shoppers who seek a vehicle with a true spirit of adventure and a luxurious cabin. Plus, it makes a great alternative to the Land Rover Discovery. But how does the Land Rover Discovery Sport fare when it comes to getting oil changes? Learn the recommended Land Rover Discovery Sport oil change interval schedule now with the Land Rover Anaheim Hills service experts!

How Often Does a Land Rover Discovery Sport Need Oil Changes?

Common sense and the consensus of automotive experts used to dictate that you should get your car’s oil changed every 3,500 miles or even 5,000 miles. But is the Land Rover Discovery Sport oil change interval different from that old standby guideline? Yes, in fact, it is.

Land Rover recommends changing the oil in most Discovery Sport luxury SUVs roughly every 15,000 miles. Keep in mind that synthetic oil should generally be changed every 7,500-10,000 miles. With that having been said, if you’ve found that you’ve been driving for a year and haven’t yet reached 15,000 miles, you should still get the oil changed in your Discovery Sport.

What’s the Land Rover Discovery Sport Oil Change Cost?

Our service team is happy to provide you the most up-to-date pricing for all services & repairs, including Discovery Sport oil changes. All you need to do is reach out to our service pros, directly. On average though, you might expect to spend around $400 on a Land Rover Discovery Sport oil change in Anaheim. 

Of course, our service specials and even parts specials can reduce that cost considerably. Also remember that if other vehicles require oil changes every 7,500-10,000 miles, this cost may be considerably offset by the much longer average Discovery Sport oil change interval!

Land Rover Discovery Sport Oil Change Procedure

Not altogether unlike the Land Rover Discovery oil change procedure, the Land Rover Discovery Sport oil change procedure requires many steps that standard oil changes require. Here’s a general overview of how to change the oil in a Land Rover Discovery Sport:

1. Stock up: Make sure you stock up on the correct type and amount of oil. Be sure to consult your vehicle’s owners manual or call (714) 646-6039 for details. If you’re performing a DIY oil change, you’ll need other supplies too, like an oil filter, a catch pan, car jacks or ramps and blocks, and more.
2. Warm up your vehicle: This is to get the oil flowing and reduce buildup.
3. Drain old oil: At a Land Rover service center like ours, experts do this on a lift with the latest technologies and tools. This should take about 10-15 minutes. This may require removal of the oil pan or simply the pan drain plug.
4. Put the oil pan or plug back on: Next, tighten according to manufacturer specifications.
5. Find the oil filter: Locate the oil filter on your Land Rover, then swap it out, being sure to rub the new filter’s seal with oil and hand (not wrench) tightening. You don’t want to overtighten!
6. Fill the vehicle with oil: Ensure you’re using the right type and amount of oil.
