You need to follow the schedule. It's mileage / months, whatever comes first. I'm driving one of my cars 1000 km/year. It doesn't mean I will only change oil every 20 years

 

Does it track ev only miles vs ice miles?

 

Since posting, I’ve found you can download your trips as a csv via the Remote app. the csv has ev miles and Ice miles.

 

To the OP - The oil degrades over time and even more so in the PHEV as the ICE often doesn’t get up to temperature to boil off condensates etc.. check the underside of the filler cap… sometimes looks like greatly sludge like you have a head gasket failure!! Would definitely recommend intervals at least what is recommended irrespective of how many miles you do on EV.

 

That's what I do. Thank you.

 

That is good to know you can figure out ev and ice miles. Thanks for sharing this knowledge @Protege527

 

You don't need .csv for that, it's in "Energy Impact / History" menu on your big screen.

 

Looking at your screenshot, it shows "Reset Trip A". I was able to toggle between trips and journey but if you've reset any of them, it doesn't seem to show a total. Admittedly, not clear what journey refers to and haven't looked it up. But if you've never reset the trips, this is definitely a MUCH easier option.

 

Thanks for that @Lev

 

My P550e tells me service is every 2 years or 34,000KM

 

yes, whatever comes first.

 

Seems far too long to me, but given I have a service plan I can’t force more frequent maintenance and I’m not in a hurry to pay

 

I have a somewhat similar situation even though my RR is a L405 PHEV and not a L460, but the principle should be the same. LR provides a chart that shows the various service intervals dependent on years or miles, whichever comes first. I've attached a copy of mine, you most likely can find yours in the iGuide under "Passport to Service".

We don't drive much, so the miles guideline doesn't apply. For example, I have only 30k miles after 4 years so my next service will be the 42k mile service. You can see what is covered. The service interval is based on using synthetic oil as recommended by LR. I do not feel entirely comfortable in changing the oil every 2 years, so in between I send a sample to Blackstone Labs for analysis to see if the wear is "normal".

 

Interesting, seems that the service interval for the same vehicle varies dependent on the market. 34k km for me, 17k km in Canada

 

Could be due to different local conditions like climate, roads, etc. In my opinion annual oil change is normal but I agree, surprised LR differentiates the same model by country/region.

 

And the iGUIDE here doesn’t have any section that mentions service interval, other than saying it’s displayed in the car

 

I finally was able to find yours, it's in the app version of iGuide, not the web version. Hope it helps.

 

Well, I just looked it up in the E-Guide. MY24 has 17,000km intervals and MY25 has 34,000km intervals - same model. How does that make sense???

 

I could think of a number of reasons...they learned from the previous year - also same models but different year doesn't always mean zero changes. Sometimes minor under the hood improvements are made between years. I think you assume they are exactly the same cars - software, under hood, etc. etc. I'd be curious if someone on the forum with direct knowledge (i.e. works for Land Rover) with access to engineering could verify...

 

Fascinating. At least we now know it’s consistent across the globe, but why double the interval?

 

My personal opinion is that 34,000km is too long for an oil change, but 17,000km might be on the short side. There is this old saying "oil is cheap".

 

My 25MY says 2 years or 21,000 miles. I got an oil change done at 10,000 miles (which I hit in 6 months) because of FUD. I'd rather waste money on a few extra oil changes than have engine problems down the road, I have intentions of keep this one for a while. I've also driven it on a few trails, so that's another factor.

 

That makes no sense at all that the 24 and 25 models would have different service intervals. Must be a typo. Regardless or the miles driven, I would always do at least one service annually.

 

MY24

MY25

 

The only two explanations are

1) the 2025 has some secret sauce improvements
2) the 2025 manual has a typo

 

If it is a mistake it’s echoed in the car system and in the app

 

My 2 cents...A lot of opinions on this thread. What I do know is:

1. Manufactures do extensive testing and don't randomly arrive at these numbers. They are data driven - for the most part.
2. Manufacturers also provide warranties (4 years for example) so at least initially, there is some incentive for the car to not breakdown beyond some variance before the warranty period. Otherwise, this would affect their financials.
3. Oil does degrade based on use i.e. number of miles and also over time.
4. Most modern cars have sensors and the actual mileage for oil change may change based on type of driving, miles, oil quality, etc. Having said that, I do NOT know this specific to Range Rover.

I also feel that 21k is a lot BUT that is based on previous cars I've owned and have not compared the type of engine, the oil used, the engine specs, etc. etc. My point is - it's is easy to simplify this into car X requires 10K therefore all cars should be changed at 10k. The reality is, it's A LOT more complicated.

My dealer recommended annual change but I'm leaning on going with the Manufacturer and NOT the dealer recommendation.

 

Yes. I never do, because the app has all the details.
