Thread: Refuse to go above 3000 rpm

So the oil has to be worked hard, hard working oil = degradation = wear= more frequent changes required.
However I stress this is MY thoughts only! I could be wrong............. The Mrs and kids tell me often enough!

Spot on i reckon, and LR service schedule agrees as I read it. 20K km/12month change intervals on the transmission oils if towing, driving hill terrain, wading, dusty conditions or extended use in 35+°C temps.
