When to Change 1996 Land Rover Discovery Engine Oil

Need more info about 1996 Land Rover Discovery oil changes? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Land Rover recommends changing your 1996 Discovery’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Outside of Land Rover-recommended oil change intervals, your Discovery may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Land Rover if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, enjoy off-roading, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Land Rover Discovery. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

What Type of Oil Does My Land Rover Discovery Need?

Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 1996 Land Rover Discovery motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Land Rover has specifically identified either synthetic or conventional as the best oil for 1996 Land Rover Discovery vehicles. Motor oil helps lubricate the engine’s moving parts, keep the engine cool, and keep harmful substances from building up inside the engine. During an oil change, an auto technician will change your Discovery’s oil, replace and recycle the old oil and filter, inspect all of your other filters, refill vital car fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle. You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your Discovery by taking into account your driving preferences, weather and road conditions,

1996 Land Rover Discovery Oil Change Questions

  • What can low oil do to my Land Rover Discovery engine? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, generate excess heat, and eventually lead to Land Rover Discovery engine failure. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change Land Rover Discovery oil at home? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Land Rover Discovery spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, fried piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Land Rover Discovery oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Land Rover Discovery oil changes. In addition to changing your oil, our experienced technicians also perform oil filter replacements, troubleshoot oil leaks, and suggest the correct oil to help keep your engine performing its best.
  • Why is the oil light on in my Land Rover Discovery? Your Land Rover Discovery oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.
  • Do I need to change my Discovery's oil filter when I get an oil change? It's recommended that you replace your Land Rover Discovery oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.
