Hi all, my 2010 has done 5000 miles put 2/3L Oil in to bring it to max. Although the dipstick doesnt seem that accurate?! leaving it to sit for 25mins before checking again.

Also for the first time i stupidly spilt oil in the engine bay! very cross with myself!

Thanks to Nigel for highlighting the concen. I, being a time served, now, ex-mechanic, I would always aim for the max. oil level. That way any drop is gauged from the upper dip-stick line. Others look to the upper and lower level and all between is perfectly acceptable. I suspect the design engineers would agree with them,
I will say that the current FL2 engine is brilliant and has nothing less than approval from me. I look forward to those Freel2 contributors reporting at 150k plus on their experience Firenze Red XS TD4 01/2013 . Averaging 1800 miles per month. My 5th Freelander in 11 years. Devotee?
