    Missed an oil change, big consequences (not Land Rover)

    Missing an oil change on this vehicle had big consequences. He said he did not get a handbook which seems strange to me as he bought the vehicle new. Maybe it is all on line now. Seems strange that missing one oil change can have such catastrophic consequences

    Hard to read that article. Poorly written. So one oil change in 91,000klm...yep that would do it.

    And unless light highway driving 15k service intervals is too long and LRs current vehicles with what 25k is silly.

    Cheers

    I think you will find some of them have intervals well over 25K.....

    He also drove the truck for a further 41,000K's AFTER the oil light came on.

    I'm really not sympathetic to him. They're trying to make out he is all innocent. 1 service in 91000km when it is meant to be done every 16,000km.

    RAM have every right to tell him it will be at his cost, I would too.
