There is a recommended service interval for the PHEV. Oil change after so many kilometres. But if you drive mostly electrically, you surely don't need to follow that schedule. So, what to do?
PHEV Service Interval

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

The only two explanations are
1) the 2025 has some secret sauce improvements
2) the 2025 manual has a typo

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

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...

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.

I never reset "Trip A/1" on all of my cars to have full stats starting from the factory. Maximum I reset "Trip B/2", if ever. But didn't really do it for last 10 years or so maybe.Looking at your screenshot, it shows "Reset Trip A".

I don't think people are really resetting these "Trips" on L460s ever, as separate journeys are all in the app anyway.
Yes. I never do, because the app has all the details.
