There are four standard types of oil, each suited for different engines and vehicle types. Whether your car is new or used, low or high mileage, there is an oil built for it. So, what oil is best for your Land Rover? That depends on what kind you have! Let's look at the differences in more detail:
- Conventional (Premium) Oil: This is your run-of-the-mill new car oil. Built for just about any light duty vehicle on the road, it's available in varied amounts of viscosities. Odds are your Land Rover will require something a bit more powerful though.
- Synthetic Oil: While a bit more expensive than your standard oil, synthetic oils are built to last longer and function better at both low and high temperatures. A Land Rover that has a high-tech powerful engine would be best suited for this oil.
- Synthetic Blends: Cheaper than a full synthetic blend, these are mixtures of synthetic and organic oils. These are crafted to handle higher temperatures and engines that undergo more stress. Generally, this oil is best suited for SUVs and pickups.
- High Mileage: With vehicles and engines lasting longer and longer nowadays, if you're trying to keep your vehicle running well into six-digit mileage this is the oil for you. With higher viscosities to deal with the wear of age, these oils are extremely protective.
- Find out the cost of your oil change. The average cost for a Land Rover Discovery oil change is between $392 and $417. Labor costs are estimated between $51 and $64 while parts are priced between $342 and $353. This range does not include taxes and fees and does not factor in your unique location. Related repairs may also be needed.Ā Each Land Rover model does have different costs so we also recommend having a conversation with a Land Rover of Naperville Service Advisor for pricing based on your model.
- Have all the parts ready. Be sure to replace your oil filter at the same time you replace the oil. If you're changing the oil yourself at home, you can get genuine filters from our Parts Department at Land Rover of Naperville.
- Always stick to a maintenance schedule. You'll still want to get an oil change at least twice a year, even if you drive the vehicle very little. Oil breaks down gradually over time, even without driving.
