    I get my D4 serviced by an independent. Issue is they do not have access to the On line service module and so when a dealer looks at your service records they cannot see that it has been serviced. Happened when I had a warranty claim. I now keep all my service records. Not that I plan to sell my car anytime soon, unless the defender is as good!!!

    When under factory and extended warranty I followed the LR service intervals and always had it serviced by JLR. Now out of warranty I change oil every 10,000km, air, fuel, pollen filters every 2 years. Did all fluids last December for its 9th birthday.

    Oils have definitely improved, but manufacturing tolerances are tighter now as well.

    I think personally 26,000km is too long, especially when lots of towing and offloading is done.

    Agree, they will do 20,000km easily on the engine oil

    Not necessary - oil analysis confirms that.

    Literally pouring money away.

    In regards to online service records, my LR mechanic does this AS WELL as in a booklet which he provided. I think people still want to see "paper" records.

    Synthetic oils have certainly made a lot of difference to service times, particularly for engine oil. It seems to vary a lot between companies too. For example, our Defender is on 20,000 kms according to LR, but our Mazda is on 10,000 kms or six months, according to Mazda. I tend to over-service, on the theory oils are cheap insurance for a longer life.

    According to my well regarded independent only jlr dealers have access to the online records that jlr use. It is bloody annoying as there is no service book supplied when you purchase the car new. This was said to me in March 2019 when I questioned him. He also keeps his own records for his clients.

    I think the independents can pay JLR to get access to the online record.
