Disco 4 First Service

[Disco4SE]

Just wondering if anyone else is curious as to why the first service for the Disco 4 (after leaving the showroom), is 12,000Klm. I would have thought that draining the oil & changing the filter on a new motor (diesel in my case) would have come sooner?
Would be interested in comments.

New cars don't need a early first service like they used to years ago.
Oils have come a long way in recent years.

You might even find that the 12000km service is a local addition - I think UK first service is 24000km.

24K in Oz too but mine will get all oils except gbox changed at about 8K next week.

D4 Only Service schedule from LR
2.7 is 12Months or 24000 km's
3.0 is 12Months or 26000km's
5.0 is 12Months or 26000km's
If you are on the Corporate plan obviously every 12Mnths you get a free service.

LR have just said that a 6 monthly Health Inspection they will also pay for..

BUT if you want your oil &/or filter replaced at the same time the customer will have to pay for those items.

HTH.

That's the standard service intervals, offroaders/towers should be using the arduous-use intervals which are half that.
