thanks is there a shcedule on when to change allthe fluids?
I have 07 SE I think my engin is only V6

I won't be doing it myself but do regular oil change depots do it?
I'm in Canada and we go by Km right now I'm at 65KM. warranty is frinished at 80Km equivilent to 50k miles, you shcnge your fluids at 70K miles which would be equivilent to about 100+ km for me

Exactly what fluids did you change?

So oil pan removal required? or 100 quarts of synthetic in there?

They will vacuum the old oil from above, in the engine bay, surely using equipment we can't afford. :wink: The 5.0 petrol engine on 2010s will require 8 liters of motor oil, different viscosity than the 05-09s - 5W-20 versus 5W-30 - and Land Rover recommends full synthetic this time (Castrol SLX or equivalent), since the service interval is doubled from 7.5 to 15K miles.

PS: The newly issued shop manual for the 2010 RRS lists both methods of draining oil from the new 5-liter engines, both normally aspirated and supercharged, one through the good 'ole fashioned drain plug and one with the vacuum method. Don't know what this means, either there are going to be two flavors of the engine - one with a drain plug and one without - or the drain plug is still going to be available on the Land Rover version of the engine (on the Jag version, it's gone) and the choice on how to drain the oil will be left up to the service dept. I wish someone with a 2010 could check, but it's a PITA as you need to remove the engine undershield to find out if the plug is there or not.

PPS: The oil filter will be accessible and replaceable from the engine bay as well, no longer from under the chassis.
