LUBRICANTS AND FLUIDS
Recommendations for all climates and conditions.
NOTE: Recommended oils are complete in themselves and additives should not be used.
NOTE: It is essential to change oil much more frequently if the vehicle is operated under severe 
conditions, especially if deep wading is carried out.
Engine oil
Use a 0W/40, 5W/40 or 10W/40 oil meeting API service level SJ or ACEA A3 synthetic and having a 
viscosity band recommended for the temperature range of your locality.
Engine oil temperature ranges
0W/40 will protect from -22ºF (-30ºC) to 122ºF (50ºC).
5W/40 will protect from -22ºF (-30ºC) to 122ºF (50ºC).
10W/40 will protect from 14ºF (-10ºC) to 122ºF (50ºC).
Engine oil brands
Automatic gearbox
Use Texaco ATF N402 oil.
Intermediate Reduction Drive
API GL5 + MT1
Rear Differential 
API GL5.
Power steering
Use ATF Dextron III.BrandGrade

Brake reservoir
‘Shell Donax YB’ brake fluid conforming to DOT 4 specification. If this fluid is not available use a 
universal brake fluid or any brake fluid having a minimum boiling point of 500°F (260°C) and 
complying with FMVSS 116 DOT4.
Windscreen washers
Windscreen washer solvent.
Engine cooling system
Use Havoline Extended Life Coolant (XLC), or any ethylene glycol based anti-freeze (containing no 
methanol) with only Organic Acid Technology (OAT) corrosion inhibitors. Use one part anti-freeze to 
one part water for protection down to -33°F (-36° C).
Air conditioning compressor oil
Nippondenso ND-8. 
Air conditioning refrigerant
R134A. 
Inertia reel seat belts
DO NOT LUBRICATE. These components are lubricated for life during manufacture.
Battery terminals
Petroleum jelly. DO NOT use silicone grease.
Door locks
Use door lock and latch lubricant, Part No. VWN16075

WHEELS & TIRES
WARNING
•ALWAYS use the same make and type of radial-ply tires front and back. DO NOT use bias-ply 
tires, or interchange tires from front to back.
•For optimum performance and handling, ALWAYS replace tires with the same make and type 
as those fitted from new at the factory. If these tires are not available, consult your retailer 
for advice on Land Rover approved alternatives. Failure to do so may adversely affect vehicle 
handling.
•NEVER drive your vehicle if the tires are badly worn, cut or damaged, or if the pressures are 
incorrect.
•Incorrectly inflated tires wear rapidly and can seriously affect the vehicle’s safety and road 
handling characteristics.
•Your vehicle is fitted with tubeless road wheels that will NOT accept inner tubes. DO NOT fit 
a tube tire.
•ONLY Land Rover approved wheel and tire combinations should be fitted to the vehicle.

TIRE PRESSURES
NOTE: The pressure for your spare tire should be set to the highest value given for your vehicle’s 
wheel/tire size combination, and adjusted after fitment.
NOTE: When towing a heavily laden trailer, tire pressures should be increased to the maximum 
specified in the handbook, and road speeds limited to 60 mph (100 km/h).
Tire inflation pressure
It is important that tires be properly inflated. Air pressure enables a tire to support the vehicle load, 
so proper inflation is critical. Failure to maintain correct inflation pressures may result in rapid and 
uneven tread wear, erratic vehicle handling and excessive heat build-up, which may result in tire 
failure.
It is impossible to determine if a tire is properly inflated just by looking at it.
Tire pressures listed on the vehicle certification label are considered to be the recommended cold 
tire inflation pressure, at maximum gross vehicle weight condition, measured when the tires are 
cold, after the vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours or driven less than 3 miles (5 km). Tire 
pressures at normal opertaing conditions are shown in the table above.
When you drive for more than 3 miles (5 km), the tires, and the air inside them, warm up and it is 
normal for the tire pressure to increase above the recommended cold pressure. When checking tire 
pessure in this condition, never ‘bleed’ or reduce air pressure.
WARNING
If the vehicle has been parked in strong sunlight or used in high ambient temperatures, DO NOT 
reduce tire pressures; instead, move the vehicle into the shade and allow the tires to cool before 
checking.
NOTE: A hot tire at or below recommended cold inflation pressure is dangerously under-inflated.
