Nice video! One point I would add. Once the oil and filter are changed and the level is good, start the engine and check for leaks before you put the bottom cover back on. You won’t be able to notice leaks as well, once the cover is back on.
The dealer always uses a fluid extractor. That's why the tube is there. The reason......profit . They do not take the floor plate off. Fluid extractors get 98% out of there.....just remember that the extractor cylinder has a fluid level. Check the amount removed. Add 7 quarts.....and check the level ....add more until its good. It will save you a ton of time and effort.
@@Alexfixty One more question, Is the noise of the engine normal on these RR's? i can hear the same noise mine sounds like when it's on idle. It's a bit scary, but the car runs just fine when is not idling and especially when i am driving it on the freeway. She drives like a jet, so I try not to think too much of it. Please let me know what you know. It sounds like a diesel truck when in idle. Thanks brother!
I took the lower metal cover off like you alex. Dealer sold me it overfilled on oil, bad lower control arms and a bad passenger cv axle. Now I have to do left is the axle and I’m set. 😮gonna watch your axle vid thank
The art of communication and illustration is to reach as many people as possible and that is in a simple manner, This is a KISS presentation Keep It Simple Stupid. Absolutely brilliant and having just done my oil change, very effective. Well done Sir.
It was my understanding that the steel vacuum tube under the oil filler cap was built and designed by LR to extend to the very bottom of the oil pan. So it's not like putting plastic tubing into the dipstick. I doubt that the dealers remove the steel protective plate, because that might cut into their profit on an $850 oil change service. Personally, I have always used my pneumatic vacuum pump on my 2014 L405 for quick and easy oil and filter changes without ever having to get underneath. Thanks for the video.
I bought a basic hand pump extractor 15 years ago for $50. Between friends and family, it pays for itself almost monthly. It's idiot-proof. You don't touch the hot engine or oil (hot is actually good; it pumps easier). You don't need to jack the car, it accurately measures whatever you take out, and it's no big deal if you accidentally overfill. Some manufacturers recommend it because some drain plugs are no longer located at the low point of the pan but on the side due to ground clearance issues. Lastly, it makes dealing with the old oil much simpler. Now if they just agree on a canister wrench size instead of every car and every model having its own..
@@soundmiamithank you so much!! I was thinking about getting one too, but thought maybe only 70% of oil can come out. If it is that simple, then changing oil on this supercharged engine is as easy at it gets. No need to lift the car up whatsoever
@@v12-s65yes, even the dealer vacuums it out the top but some models have splash deflectors which prevents 100% drain. the dealer’ will tell you . (Ironically they charge the same for an oil change either way)
Excellent video. It's always worth changing your own oil. You know it's done right and you are sure to get fresh oil, a new filter and new o rings and drain plug washers. Most auto parts stores take back used oil for no charge. This protects the environment. Again, great video and thank you.
Bastard dealer sold me my L405 OVERFILLED ON OIL SMH 🤦🏻♂️ AND SHOT CONTROL ARMS AND BRAKES. but I was able to negotiate that into my final price of 17,000 out the door I love it. It’s so nice now
Very informative presentation, and thorough procedures for oil change. Getting rid of waste oil is becoming an issue in some places in the United States. There are strict regulations in the town I live in, for doing this, because of environmental reasons of course. And people should be responsible in their actions. It has become more of a hassle than it is worth. So I to am from the old school methods, and has served me well for fifty years. I like what you have said in this video production, although I believe these Land Rovers are a bit over engineered. My personal thought is that land Rover had every intention of making the oil change process simplified, by using the vacuum method of oil retrieval from the sump, as this vehicle was manufactured with that intent. To me, It seems a bit to much to have to take the skid plate off every time you want to change your oil. As I am now sixty five, and my day's of wrenching are about done, with the exception of my motorcycle, which is very easy maintenance. Really enjoy your content my friend, Peace and Cheers my friend, from New Hampshire U.S.A.
What a bunch of silly lefties. When they make it hard to recycle the oil, people will just dump it in the storm drains, pour it down their sink, or dump it in a field late at night. They just NEVER think things through, do they??
Your supposed to drain the engine oil when engine is warmed up so all the gunk comes out properly, because hot or warm fluid comes out with a better flow
Hello Alex, thanks to your video I did my oil change yesteday on range rover sport L494. Your advise to put the car in extended mode was so helpfull for me. It is the first time I did an oil change with 4 wheels on the floor 😅. Thank you again, Maxence from FRANCE 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷
Have you got a sump plug on the bottom of your engine? I want to service my 3.0 Sdv6. Also did you change the fuel filter and where is it located? Many thanks
Your videos are awesome thanks for teaching the rest of us! I would love to do this myself but the kit costs $180. Then you have to lug the oil around and dispose of it as well, in addition to your time and effort. My local indy charges $275. To me that extra $100 is worth it. But great to know how to do it if one is so inclined--thanks again.
Awesome video here bro! I am planning to go for a L405 in pretty soon! Just subscribed to your channel! Awesome content for sure for the diy folks!!! Just let her idle or run for a few minutes before you install the belly pan if you use the drain plug method… otherwise vacuum out is the way to go for these vehicles!👍🏼
Just changed my Disco 5 oil n filter after watching your video and thanks for the step by step oil n service reset menu. You’re very helpful. I used to use MityVac to drain my oil. But I figure since the under body plate was not as heavy as my LR3. I went and changed out the oil like I normally would on My LR3
I really hate the places that sell oil change kits for the 5.0 L405 - ALL OF THEM only include 8 liters of oil - which means you have to purchase an extra liter at super inflated prices to complete the job. They know it takes 8.5 liters... so why only sell 8 liters? SMH. Thanks for the video!
@@Alexfixty Thank you for your channel and insights - you are awesome for sharing your knowledge! We completed the oil change successfully thanks to you! Our kit came with 9 quarts, but only put 8 and checked level was “OK” like you said. Really no need to add the 0.5 quart even on the supercharged model?
Best informative video I’ve seen in a while !! Thumbs up and I subscribed ! Straight to the point, shows every step, records every step too, very good video 😌👍🏼 ..
Excellent video. I really appreciate it. My new Range Rover indicates that the first oil change is supposed to be done at 15,000 miles. That seems like a long time to me. I don't want to over maintain it, but at the same time I don't want to under maintain it either. What's your recommendation for how many miles between oil changes?
Good Day! Pls I loosed and removed the two back brake callipers to compress them as the new pads wasn't entering, after fixing them back and bleeding, the brake pedal goes flat at first and comes a bit hard after several pumping but still goes flat when left for few minutes, had tried several means of bleeding, even changed the brake master and ABS Module but still having same brake failure. Kindly help urgently. Sorry it's a Range Rover 2014 Autobiography and all the jobs where done without me activating the maintenance service mode or can it be the cause?
Thank you for your very useful information. As a range rover owner, I am learning a lot from your videos. Could you also post about how to replace the headlights and rear lights?
Super, clear, very usual. What is the right level of coolant? Reservoir has two parts :upper and lower.Full lower part and empty upper part mean correct level? Thank you
Thanks for another great Rover video! I am missing some of the bolts holding the skid plate on. In your video you mentioned 15mm bolts. Do you have the spec for them? I need to replace a few. Thanks!!!
Hi, I have a 2012 Land Rover Range Rover HSE Lux. Where is the battery in this vehicle under the hood or under the spare tire in the back? Thank you so much! Love your videos!
I have 2019 Range Rover Sport with SP V 8. I see a tiny whiff of blue smoke from the right tail pipe when I cold start the truck in the morning. I dont see it at any other time.Otherwise the engine runs perfect. Help !! I do have the CPO warranty

¡Gracias!
🙏🙏🙏
very good
I subscribed immediately! Well presented my brother. God bless you and thanks for
clear instructions. Nice.
That was really helpful
Thank you for your great videos! Subbed! When do you recommend doing differential (rear & front) and transfer case fluid changes?
Make video for coolant change l405
Great video, very detailed! Any video on doing a transmission drain and refill?
Would like to see you do the sport also fuel and air filter replacement. Very well informed channel thank you
mine is an evoque but similar task thank you
Evoque isn’t a Range Rover it’s a Ford kuga but not made as well
For that specific year aren't you supposed to use 0w20?
Can you do coolant flush video?
what about changing gearbox oil, if and when should it be done
I wanna buy the svr but use a 0w30 instead. A 20 weight seems not enough for this beast of an engine
Perfect
Our dealer charges $500 for an oil change for our 2019 full size Range Rover… thanks

Hi! I recommend not more than 7k miles on any car (except hybrids) 👍 if you go off-road on dusty areas, then 5k miles and air filters every oil change
