Even if all you do is drive around in your Land Rover model, then you are still going to need regular oil changes. If you choose regular motor oil, then those changes should be every 3,000 miles. If you use the recommended Castrol EDGE™ Professional synthetic oil, then you only need to change it every 10,000 miles. We invite you to learn more about oil changes in your sophisticated Land Rover vehicle.

What Can Happen if You Don't Change Your Oil
First, your Land Rover vehicle might overheat because many parts of your engine will be temperature regulated. Your engine's components remain relatively cool when properly lubricated. If your oil is breaking down, then those parts will create more heat through friction, which will contribute toward a possible overheat. Your mileage will also suffer because the engine must work harder to achieve the same horsepower and torque. The corresponding reduction comes from dirt and other contaminants that get into the oil over time.
When the oil is dirty, the dirt and other guck can adversely affect emissions by depositing all kinds of stuff into the catalytic converter. This is especially true if you take your Land Rover car off road in the terrain surrounding your usual drives. If your Land Rover vehicle has a variable camshaft, then the excessive dirt in the old oil that's fouling other engine parts will begin to foul it. Too much such dirt in the variable camshaft will lead to needing a new one. Turbochargers, which spin at 10,000 or more rpm, won't run correctly if the oil is broken down or is too dirty. In extreme cases the turbo will shred itself, which could completely destroy the engine. Because of extra friction, your Land Rover model's performance will suffer in the presence of old, dirty engine oil. Keeping the oil clean is necessary for the engine to work correctly.
If you don't change the oil as stipulated by Land Rover, then you could possibly void any warranty that's assigned to your vehicle. Even though it's a good idea to check your warranty to see what's what in that regard, it's far better just to have the oil changed as it says in the manual. The worst thing that can happen is the seizing of your engine. If that happens, then the repairs will most likely be among the most expensive that you will ever have to have done on your Land Rover vehicle. Even if it can be fixed, it won't ever be the same.
Signs Your Vehicle Needs an Oil Change
There are certain signs that you should change the oil even if you haven't reached the normal number of miles driving in, around, to, and from Coral Gables. If you notice unusual smells coming from the engine, then it's time to change the oil. Dirt and water might have gotten into the engine in some way. Another reason to change the oil early would be if it's slimy, gritty, or both when you check it. Your Land Rover vehicle is vibrating weirdly or dashboard lights that you've never seen before being on are both good indications of needing an early oil change. Last, if your transmission shifts are noisy, then that could mean that the oil is poor.
