Thread: How does the service reminder work?

Pretty sure it's based on distance, but months could be factored in, too. But you should be servicing the car at at least twice the "recommended" distance. Assuming yours is a diesel, you should be changing the engine oil and filter at around 10,000km or six months. And by now you should be looking at using a 10w/40 oil instead of the "recommended" 10w/30. Full synthetic, but spec depending upon whether you have a DPF.
There's heaps of advice on here about when to change other fluids. And don't forget to regularly service the EPB.

Thanks, DieselLSE.
My book specifies 0W/30 but I’ll look for 0W/40 next time if I can find it to the quoted JLR spec (Don’t know how significant that is).
There sure is a lot of discussion, (and many different opinions) about changing fluids, but I couldn’t find much about servicing the EPB (sadly, the search facility on this forum seems to by word only and not phrase, so I get a lot of “service” hits but no EPB hits).
Can you elaborate or point me at something?
