Land Rover Discovery Engine Oil Finder

Although positioned below the Range Rover, the Discovery is no less high-quality in the British car manufacturer's model range. The fact that the modern day Discovery has mild hybrid engines under the hood should not hide the fact that the solid Brit is equipped with a lot of horses - because a look at the technical data reveals that the Discovery pulls through the country with at least 249 hp. This is by no means mild, but rather brutal, and the Discovery as an SUV is also a real wreck. At least in terms of fuel consumption, the car shows that it is being a bit lenient: anyone who suspects a raging throat will be disabused when the average consumption of 7.3 to 7.5 litres of diesel is stated. The top petrol engine is approved more, but does not crack the 10-litre mark on paper.

Which vehicle is better suited to "discover" than the Land Rover Discovery? That's right, none, because the Discovery lives up to its name with the SUV shape that thirsts for adventures in the mud. SUVs like the Discovery are not just lifestyle companions for the inner city. Even off the beaten track, the Discovery proves endurance and stamina - anything else would be surprising given the powerful units and all-wheel drive. With all its off-road capability, the brisk Brit also retains its typical Land Rover charm, which should be particularly popular with the maximum five passengers in the interior.

Motor oil is a vital part of your Land Rover Discovery's engine. It provides the much needed lubrication to many of the internal parts of an engine. One of its key jobs is to prevent wear and tear on the moving parts which helps keep the engine running smoothly. Without oil, the engine would cease up almost immediately.

Regularly checking and changing your Land Rover Discovery engine oil is really important. Every time you start and run your car, very fine by-products from the combustion in the engine will be collected in the engine oil. This is one of the reasons why over time the oil goes black. If these contaminants build up too much and exceed the capacity of the oil it can have a negative impact on your car’s overall efficiency and actually effect its performance as it creates sludge and increased wear in the engine block.

Every engine oil will have its viscosity grade labelled on the packaging. This will look something like 0W-20, 5W-30 or 5W-40. This grading is used to measure how thick / fluid the oil is and help ensure you buy the right oil for your car. The lower the viscosity grade of the oil, the more fluid and thinner it will be than those with a high grade (higher numbers) which will be much less running and thick.

So which engine oil should you buy for your Land Rover Discovery? Whether you are topping up your Land Rover Discovery oil or doing a full change of your Land Rover Discovery's oil it is really important that you use the correct grade of oil.
