Maintenance: Application and ID
Notes on "Severe Service"The maintenance intervals that are listed under Normal Service are designed by the vehicle manufacturer to meet the needs of the "Average" motorist.
CAUTION:
Should an LR3 vehicle have a high proportion of short journeys or operate in severe conditions, Land Rover North America, recommends that the maintenance intervals be cut in half for "Arduous Use" - Oil Changes at 3,750 miles (6,000 km) and Service Intervals of 7,500 miles (12,000 km).
For Arduous Use at the least the following precautions must be observed:
- After 50 miles (80 km) of continuous use in severe off road conditions - wading, deep mud, and abrasive grit/slurry - the electric park brake should be inspected, cleaned and adjusted. The serpentine engine drive belts should also be inspected and cleaned.
- If a vehicle is used extensively in arduous/ off road conditions, the road wheel speed sensors, brake pads and calipers should be checked for abrasive wear every 1000 miles (1500 kilometers).
- When the vehicle is used in dusty or off road conditions, or is subjected to deep wading, frequent replacement of the air cleaner may be required.
