    Heavy Duty

    Since the day I took delivery of my brand new D4 HSE SDV6 from the dealership in 2011 I have had it serviced to the LR 'Arduous Conditions' schedule.

    This schedule means a service every 13,000km or 6 months. Due to the km's I was then traveling I never ever reached the time interval.

    All other service items have been carried out to the schedule bar the auto trans. I requested, and have since stuck with a fluid change at each 80,000km interval.

    Having a good qualified tech go over the vehicle at each service has proven its worth to me.

    My D4 is not to far away from 300,000kms and has not let me down as yet. Fingers crossed and touch wood!

    well lets just say oil & filters are cheap.engines & repairs are exspensive.....with our below par Diesel standards here in Australia i replace fuel filter every 10k.....& finally the biggest killer of a Diesel engine is a dirty air filter.

    No, dust kills but a dirty air filter is more efficient than a clean one.
    As a filter loads it traps more/finer particles.
    Air filters are often changed too frequently.

    Yep, what Gav said.

    At the end of the day if owners want to have their vehicle serviced at 20K or longer intervals, its their vehicle.
    But dont think for one minute manufacturers service intervals are for the benefit of vehicle longevity.
