Many motorists independently cope with changing the oil and filter in a diesel Freelander 2. The procedure itself is carried out by draining, that is, there is nothing complicated about it. To do all the work with your own hands, perform the following manipulations:
Probably, all car owners know that in addition to the oil in the car, the filter also changes. To do this, dismantle it from the seat, do it carefully, especially carefully work with a plastic glass. It can be unscrewed using a 27 wrench. At the same time, a cap or open-end tool will not work, it is very difficult to work with it and it will be quite difficult to approach the part. Use a floating head tool. Remember that the oil will flow out, so consider in advance that it drains into a special container.
The filter will come out with the cover as it is attached to it with latches. To release the element, it is enough to use an ordinary screwdriver. Next, install the new filter by lightly tapping it with your palm to secure it. Pay special attention to the stage when you put on the rubber o-ring. But it comes with a filter element and must be installed very accurately so that oil leakage is completely excluded. For ease of use, you can lubricate the ring with engine oil. After that, you can install the glass in place without twisting it too much in the seat.
Changing the engine oil in the Land Rover Freelander 2 engine is an important procedure that is carried out during scheduled maintenance. The oil in the engine has a number of functions, thanks to which the number of engine hours increases dramatically. But untimely replacement threatens to malfunction of the power unit, which will ultimately lead to costly repairs.
When is an oil change required?
The replacement schedule in the Land Rover Freelander 2 engine is once every 8-10 thousand kilometers.
In addition to mileage, there are other factors that affect the frequency of oil changes:
- Increased environmental humidity;
- Severe frosts or constant temperature changes;
- In a large city where the road surface is quite dusty;
- Mountainous terrain, where there are sharp elevation changes (ascents and descents).
Therefore, experienced owners are guided not by mileage, but by the operating conditions of the vehicle.
How to choose oil?
The choice of oil for Land Rover is obvious - the original production. As a rule, the company also recommends using the Castrol brand. Viscosity 5W30. Other brands with a similar oil composition are possible, but many automotive services play it safe and follow the manufacturer's specifications.
Popular brands of oils that can be used:
- Lukoil;
- Mobil 1;
- G Energy.

Engine oil change Land Rover Discovery 3, Range Rover Vogue and Sport
Changing the engine oil in the Land Rover Discovery 3 and Range Rover Vogue engine does not present any difficulties. However, the procedure requires knowledge of theory and special tools.
A brief procedure for changing the oil in the Land Rover Discovery 3 engine:
- The power unit of the vehicle starts, warms up to operating temperature.
- The car is lifted up.
- The engine crankcase protection is removed.
- Substitute a container to collect used grease. The oil drain bolt is unscrewed.
- At the same time, the oil filter is unscrewed and replaced.
- Wait until the oil is completely drained.
- A new filter is being installed. The oil drain screw is tightened. New grease is poured into place.
In comparison with the Land Rover Freelander, the replacement of the Land Rover Discovery 3 and Range Rover Vogue differs only in the amount of oil capacity, the location of the filler and drain plugs.
Consequences of late replacement
Vehicles with a diesel power unit must undergo maintenance, in particular, the procedure for changing the engine oil more often - once every 5-8 thousand kilometers. On gasoline engines, you can change the oil every 8-10 thousand kilometers.
Consequences and possible breakdowns in case of untimely oil change:
- Rotation of connecting rod bearings;
- Wear of turbocharger parts;
- Deterioration of the internal elements of the engine.
Also keep an eye on the oil level. Oil starvation is also fraught with breakdowns. One of the worst results: overhaul or replacement of the power unit.

How to change oil and filter on Freelander 2
It should be noted that flushing the system is not necessary. This procedure is already done by additives added to engine oil. For work you will need:
- pit (overpass or lift);
- container for draining used oil;
- floating key;
- torque wrench;
- screwdriver;
- drain plug copper gasket;
- 6 liters of oil;
- oil filter with sealing ring included;
- rags;
- gloves.
In a hot engine, the oil temperature reaches 120 ° C, so the engine needs to cool down. If the engine is cold, the oil in it is thick, it will flow out for a long time. The internal combustion engine should be warm to the touch - this is the temperature "golden mean".
- Open the hood and unscrew the oil filler cap. The pressure inside the engine should equal the pressure of the atmosphere, which will help the oil flow out faster.
- We remove the protection of the engine.
- We substitute a container for used oil.
- We unscrew the drain plug.
- The oil drain procedure takes about five minutes.
- Change the copper drain plug gasket.
- We twist the cork with a torque wrench with a force of 20 Nm.
Then we proceed to replace the oil filter. This requires the utmost care. The filter is located behind the radiators, that is, in front of the engine, almost in the center.
- Unscrew the cover counterclockwise with a hex wrench and remove it.
- Wipe off the used oil with a rag.
- Slightly bending the fastening clamps, remove the filter from the cover.
- We install a new one so that it is fixed with brackets.
- We put on a new sealing ring.
- We return the cover to its place.
- We twist with a force of 20 Nm.
- We put the protection in place. The force for tightening its bolts
Now you can fill in new engine oil.
- Pour five liters and wait two minutes.
- Check the level with a dipstick.
- Add another half liter.
- We take out the probe again.
The average level value is sufficient, you can top up to the maximum mark, but this is not necessary.
After changing the oil, it remains to tighten the filler cap and close the hood.
Oil and filter selection
Jaguar Land Rover recommends the use of Castrol 5W-30 engine oil. That is what I offer in the Service Park technical center. But, since this brand of oil is only a recommendation, the car owner can choose another manufacturer, the main thing is that the product meets the specifications: viscosity characteristics and application temperature.
If you still have questions about the replacement or selection of spare parts and working fluids, it is enough to indicate the contact number in the feedback form so that the specialist will contact you and answer all questions.
