Land Rover recommends changing your 1996 Range Rover’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Range Rover in the above table. Outside of Land Rover-recommended oil change intervals, your Range Rover may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the vehicle, 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, adventure off-road, or drive at low speeds for long distances. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Land Rover Range Rover. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

1996 Land Rover Range Rover Oil Change Q&A

  • What can low oil do to my Land Rover Range Rover engine? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and cause your Range Rover’s engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Land Rover Range Rover oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Land Rover Range Rover exhaust smoke grayish or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, damaged piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Land Rover Range Rover oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Land Rover Range Rover 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 Range Rover? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Land Rover Range Rover 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.
  • Does my Range Rover's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? You should replace your Land Rover Range Rover during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.
