There is no oil dilution problems with the V8 Diesel, I’ve had several and so have many of my friends and family and non of us have had absolutely no issues in any shape or form with this engine. The V8 Diesel is virtually bomb proof - similar to the Rolls Royce Merlin Engines or the 6 cylinder Ford New Holland Powerstar engine - they simply don’t go wrong unless you abuse them or don’t service them. 2021 L405 Vogue SE 4.4 V8 DIESEL ~ #17 |

You must be doing a lot of short journeys because that’s a totally new one on me - I have never ever had to undertake a service before the 12 months dictated by the dash counter and that even includes during lockdown when my annual

Fairly low milage here, and haven't had any issues. ![]() Car has done around 7k per year, and has never had a service more frequently than yearly, you must be doing some seriously short journeys?

This oil dilution issue is interesting because it is an inferred value not a measured one. I’ve had six LR/RRs and only once have I seen an “Oil Service Required Contact Dealer” message and that was in my 2011 Freelander 2 and it popped up one month before the annual service was due with about 12,000 miles on the clock.

I’ve just picked my 2017 sdv8 up from the dealership after having some warranty worked carried out and the oil changed after premature oil dilution.

The strange thing is, COVID hasn't changed the journeys at all. My other half is a Teacher and her school is down a fast single/dual carriageway so it has still been working its way there and back as usual, if anything quicker because of the lighter traffic.
