More importantly, check the dealer actually puts in oil which matches Land Rovers specifications not whatever oil is in the nearest bucket.

I am just about to start asking for a quote but my dealer did it for £256 all in three years ago. The insp I and II were £400 each.

Source the oil at ECP £40 then ask how long it takes an indy to change the oil and filter for you. £75, May even get a stamp thrown in if your lucky |

many thanks Gary, I would do - though just a little concerned it may compromise my warranty having seen how Land Rover have tried to wriggle out of new engines on several occasions over the last 40 years... |

Like Gary says, supply the oil yourself. That's what I do and it saves me over £100, or it did on my TDV8. That was Castrol Magnatec A1 which can be bought for £18/4Ltrs, so £36 for 2 4L cans. The main dealer used to charge £21 per litre when they supplied it.

Remember the 4.4TDV8 needs the low SAPS oil as it has a DPF (Shell usually) and is about £70-£80 even thru opie but should save a bit over dealer cost.

I would suggest to the dealer that you could source your own oil to negotiate the price, although the reality is that through buying in bulk, the dealer will still make a significant profit selling you the oil at the rate you can source for… 4.2 Supercharged Vogue SE |
