Why check the motor oil level in my Land Rover LR3?

Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, engine parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your Land Rover LR3 engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.

How hard is it to change Land Rover LR3 oil at home?

Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. 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 help your car perform down the road.

Why is my Land Rover LR3 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?

There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, damaged piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.

Where can I get Land Rover LR3 oil changes?

What does it mean if my Land Rover LR3 oil light comes on?

If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Land Rover LR3 oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.

Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Land Rover LR3?

It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Land Rover LR3 every time you change the oil. After all, what’s the point of changing our oil if you’re just going to send fresh, clean engine oil through an already dirty filter?

When to Change 2008 Land Rover LR3 Engine Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Land Rover LR3’s oil changed? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. We know all about motor oil, too. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Land Rover recommends changing your 2008 LR3’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your LR3 in the above table. Your LR3 may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the car, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Land Rover recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, adventure off-road, or go long distances at low speeds. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Land Rover LR3. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
