How do you change the oil on a 2000 Land Rover Discovry II?

Answer 1

You really don't need to jack up your Rover. Wait until the vehicle is cool, and remove the oil dip stick, Slide under the front of the vehicle on the passenger's side the lowest pan is the oil pan. Place an empty oil catcher under the bolt, loosen the bolt, until the oil starts to drip from the pan. then while it's cool remove the screw rather fast, not allowing it to fall into the oil drain bucket. Allow all of the oil to drip out.

While that is dripping, towards the front of the vehicle same side as the oil the filter is attached to the bottom of the front of the engine. you should see it as your sliding under the front of the vehicle. Loosen the filter with a fliter wrench, now go back and place the bolt back in the oil pan, it should be finished. Then slide your oli catcher under the filter, because it will leak oil.

With the new filter place some of the old oil around the rubber ring on the oil filter, and slowly screw it back on being carful not to cross thread it. tighten it up with your hand and a slight turn with the filter wrench, try not to put a dent in it.

Then your finished with draining your oil. The you want to fill your new oil up about 6 quarts will do for now and then start your vehicle up let it run for a bit to fill up the filter then shut it down. Check the level and top it off the the correct height, and your finished. Remember to recycle your oil. Hope that helps. Should take you about 20 mins or less.
