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.
