Regular service
At 136750 km it was time for a full service. There is really not much to be said, but I will upload oil specifications and other information once I have some more time.
regular service:

I used the following oils:
Engine: Castrol Magnatec GTD 10W40
Main gearbox: Castrol AMX
Transmission: Castrol EPX 90
Diffs: Castrol EPX 90
|
|
|
|
|
|
I also changed the following filtes:
- oil
- air
- diesel fuel
|
|
|
|
|
|
And fitted an oil temperature sender unit to the sump. It's by VDO and the number for my engine sump is: 323.801/004/039 K, being M14x1.5. You need to check against your engine number! |

As long as it's of a fine substance and creamy when rubbed between the fingers, this much metal is quite normal on the magnetic gearbox drain plug. |

Well, as I said, there is really not much to say about regular service. I would always opt for better quality oil and original (OME) Land Rover replacement parts. It can't be stressed how important regualr service intervals are for the longevity of your Landy - but of course you know that :) |
