For those of you with a splash shield: The belly pan has 3 T45 bolts that are in the center of the pan, and about 12 or so T25 bolts around the perimeter of the belly pan.
Our 2018 Atlas I detected an oil smell prior to purchasing but with still equipped belly pan I could not get eyes on a leak obviously was a severe leak until a couple months later I saw a massive oil puddle under the car. Pulled the belly pan drained what oil was left,it had been leaking from the oil filter housing cap. Removed that & inspected the cap & o-ring. Cap appeared fine & o-ring was in correct seat. Installed new filter & o-ring & added oil. Immediately started leaking from filter cap after test run. Tried multiple different torques on cap to seal O-ring and finally stopped the leak. Fast forward 3 months and it is dumping the new oil out again😠. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help.
How do you guys deal with the spilling of the oil filter when it’s replaced? Mine is always full of oil when I do the oil change it sucks but I manage to get it done with out to much of a mess now but still baffles me on how the filter sits up tops and doesn’t drain
Hi i was told my alternator needs to be replaced, for a range rover velar, is there a difference from buying an OEM alternator from land rover vs buying it from your site FCP Euro for 1/4 the price? Would appreciate the help thank you!

Umm… doesn’t the Atlas call for VW504 spec oil? That Liquimoly is 502/505… I use LM in mine, but use TopTec 4210 to meet the 504/507 spec.
Im using with 5w-30 with 138k miles
Pfff… the oil plug just keeps spinning, I think I damaged something. 😢
😥
Yeah definitely not 5.5 quarts mine takes 6.5 after running for a few minutes to get to the right level
I always go by the dipstick. I keep my 22 Tiguan at the upper level on the dipstick.
Drain plug is 18mm hex, not 19mm. You can probably use a 19mm but it's not right - why they needed to use an uncommon size I have no idea.
Mine was actually a 19mm! I also red 18mm but 19 fit on 2019 atlas V6 AWD
@@MiguelGorham Mine is 2018 so they must have changed it.

Buy a new filter housing from ECS or the dealer. They can warp.

Even after removing the small bolt on the filter housing and letting it drain?
forever draining oil filter housing, drip drip drip GLUG over and over lol

No it shouldn't be a difference the only difference would be is your paying for that range rover name on the part.
