Oil change info

[TxGalinFl]

Hi again, just bought a 96 Range Rover with 80,420 miles on it.....just wondering what the type and amount of oil I should use on this particular vehicle. Also, how often does it need to be changed? Thanks for any and all info.

Lots of opinions on this I am sure...

I use Mobil-1 5-w30 full synthetic.

The temp. in your area will determine the weight oil to use. Generally a 5 or 10W/30 is great for the winter and a 10W/40 for the warmer months.
Try and use good oil filters like a Mobil 1-301 or a K&N 3001 for better results.
Buy 6 quarts of oil, installing 5.5 then run the engine for a couple minutes and recheck the dip stick to see if any more is needed.

I forgot to add, I change my oil every 6k to 8k miles depending on how often I drive it. Mileage will vary, some say every 3k, I have gone as long as 10k between oil changes, but this is me.

Most vehicles require an oil change every 3000 miles. This is usually a relatively painless and inexpensive procedure. There are numerous “quick” oil change stations that specialize in the no-appointment, fast-food like oil change. Even on a busy day, getting an oil change may only take half an hour.

Thanks for the info given.....husband will be doing the oil changes so I don't have to worry about the "fast food" type oil places. We live in Florida so the 10/30 would probably be best since we don't really get cold here
