Bit late to the party, but just done a major service on my 2012 FL2 ( 1YR since I bought it), and the Brazilian Method works for the oil service message.
TOP TIP !!!!
Cheers 🍻🍻

Worked for me ... my 2012 Thumbs Up


Can you clarify the "TURN ON/OFF IGNITION SWITCH"? What is that?
Do you mean "Put the keyfob in / take out of the ignition slot?"

Thanks Embarassed

As stated before I cleared the message around 5yrs ago & it has never appeared ever again, unlike the yearly service reminder that pops up every year.

It means insert the keyfob, do not depress brake/clutch pedal & press start button. That will turn the power on but not start the engine. (Now Sold). 2008 Freelander 2 (Nazca Sand) SE TD4 Auto. Statutory write off & on WOVR for hail damage but still road legal.

If you indicate in your profile which MYxx car & if the engine is an oil burner or high octane, it would make it easier to help with solutions. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

Either the car needs a service or there is too much oil in the sump. A common fault with main stealers is that they put full litres of oil in when the correct amount is 5 1/2 litres (from memory). Take out any oil that is above the maximum mark on the dipstick.
