1st service

Hi all,

Just contacted my Danish Dealer regarding the 1st service & replacing the engine oil.

They advised they use a Castrol oil, so I requested the exact type- I'll then check it against YF's recommended list.

They also said I could supply my own oil - but who know's if they actually will use it ??


Maybe I should fit that reversing camera, and record what they do Thumbs Up Rolling with laughter Thumbs Up

Maybe I'm just paranoid......... Big Cry Big Cry Thumbs Up

.......they advised Castrol Magnatec 5W-30 ACEA A1/B1 - which is below the specification recommended by YF.

So......I will provide my own oil Thumbs Up

I have not (yet). I want a hot car (winter is coming), not just warm seats.
I have not had trouble during my 16 months, and I choose to believe that it will continue to be so
until LR can do it properly, not only a provisional solution. LR Freelander2 2,2 Td4 HSE manuel Stornaway Grey (Metallic) & Ebony Black Leather & Sun/Moon-roof & Bi-Xenon & Roof Rails & Tow bar & Body side rubbing strips & Cold climate pack & Privacy glass & NavTeq .

Sorry, but I have changed to Defender 90 ", and I love my" tractor ".

On a similar thread I am probably going to take my own oil for the 1st service.

How much would I expect to get off the £430 price if I do that? £30??!

Ta. '57 GS TD4 in Stornoway. Privacy, Leather, Tred Cills. From ebay etc.. 18" 12 spoke HSE alloys, rear spoiler, clear side repeaters with clear leds, led interior light to replace bulbs, sports exhaust trim, TomTom 720.
