    Not needed if you are doing regular oil changes with the right oil.

    Most flushes are just diesel based, and you can never get it all out unless you do a flush and rinse with new engine oil.

Alternatively the Castrol Magnatec Professional is listed to meet the Ford specifications, if you can find it. I just wouldn’t deviate given the number of bearing failures.
    Thanks, I don’t intend to deviate from the specified oil. Checked the VIN and under the car, definitely no DPF (yay!), so the 913 spec oil (ACEA C3) should be ok.

    I want to check what LR used last oil service and now looking for an oil vacuum pump, waiting for the filters to arrive...

    cheers

    Oil filter housing is 32mm socket , do up to 25nm - with a torque wrench !
    The oil extraction port is right in front of you ! But LR keep it a secret .

    i think the later models have the extraction port in the oil filler hole , 2012 on ?

    Buy a vacuum oil extractor , they are great !

    Hopes this helps in the future .
    Yep. I agree.

    Just had the vacuum pump bought off e-Bay delivered yesterday. A$50.

    Oil Filter (ex UK): A$2.20 each (LR013148P1 OEM)
    Fuel Filters (ex UK): A$16.50 each (LR009705P Aftermarket Britpart)
    Air Filter (Ex Sydney Au) A$6.50 each (aftermarket Wesfil equivalent)
    Pollen Filter (ex UK): A$2.20 each (JKR500010P1 OEM)

    Still to get oil - Penrite Enviro+ C4 5W-30 Full Syn ~A$105-110 and a bottle of Penrite Engine flush

    So I figure i can do an oil service for about $150...excluding my time and the vacuum pump cost...

    Picked up 10L of Penrite C4 Enviro 5W-30 from Super Cheap Auto yesterday for A$103.99. Using some SuperCheap store credits, got it for $75 - not too bad me thinks.

    Will do the oil service when I get back from being away....
