Thread: Mass oil loss in 2017 Disco Sport Diesel

Originally Posted by JLW

Hi all, my 2017 Disco Sport diesel had a timing chain replaced by LR 10 weeks ago at 124,000km (under goodwill thankfully) and at 128,000km I had an 'Oil Level Critically Low' alarm appear. Stopped the car immediately and checked the dipstick about 20 minutes later only to see that there was only a minimal oil level showing. Dropped 5L of oil straight in and it showed about 80% full on the dipstick (after 10 minutes). The car has zero oil leaks, is not blowing smoke and performance is as per usual. What was interesting is that my adblue 2400km warning light came on just before this oil alarm and when I refilled it took nearly 9L. I checked my LR paperwork from 10 weeks ago and it states that they replaced 6.5L of engine oil and topped up the adblu (this equates to 8.6L of adblue chewed through in 4,500km when I would normally get around double that milage...). My only thought and concern is that LR either did not top up the engine oil or the adblu after replacing the timing chain or there is something very strange happening. Appreciate any thoughts or feedback from anyone that has had a similar experience. Cheers.

I guess you can't really know what LR did, so you will have to monitor it from what & when you topped it up.

Spot on. We've seen reports of similar on here before.
