Land Rover recommends having your 2005 Land Rover LR3’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. No matter the mileage, your LR3 may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust.

2005 Land Rover LR3 Oil Change Q&A

  • What can low oil do to my Land Rover LR3 engine? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, engine parts can grind together, overheat, and eventually lead to Land Rover LR3 engine failure. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • How hard is it to change Land Rover LR3 oil at home? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Land Rover LR3 exhaust smoke grayish or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, fried piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Land Rover LR3 oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Land Rover LR3 oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • Why is the oil light on in my Land Rover LR3? The oil change light in your Land Rover LR3 could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
  • Do I need to replace my LR3’s oil filter when changing my oil? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Land Rover LR3 every time you change the oil.
