Hi,
I have noticed from some other posts that the service interval is 20,000km(15,000mls) or 12 months. Why is it 12,000kms or 6 months in australia?
cheers,
Anthony

RRS All Models, Rest of the World - Service interval is every 6 months / 12,000 km.
Renew engine oil and filter every 6 months / 12,000 km

Some excuse about harsher climates and whilst some of us who take ours off road can maybe see the sense, the majority that drive between North Shore , Northern Beaches and the CBD in Sydney, or even between the main cities once in a while may be somewhat mystified

Managed to get the corporate package when i bought it, all servicing is free for 3 years, delivery covered etc

I mainly ask because I got ripped off on the first service for wiper blades (should have been warranty) and I am pretty sure they charged me for the amount of oil that the SC version uses at an exorbitant cost per liter. I winged to Land rover Australia about the wiper blades and at least the next service is free! (labour only).

There's another Maintenance Check Sheet for the RRS classified under " All Models Ardous".
This recommends service intervals of 3 months / 6,000 km.
Renew engine oil and filter every 3 months / 6,000 km !

Could this be for the 'harsher climates' ?

i was wondering the same today when the service indicator came on near 3000km's since new and inside 6 months.

Spoke to a few dealers service and one said yes - time to service $650-700, another said wait till 6 mths or 12,000kms with roughly the same cost. A third was the same but only circa $350 for the same service.

Glad I did not book in with dealer number 1. Anyone else had the same advice given for a diesel?

Don't mind keeping it serviced or being taken for a ride either!

Which dealers are you referring too??

It is interesting to see consistency in the dealerships. The sticker in my window from when I collected mine is six months or 10,000Km. I have run over that slightly as the dealers can't get the car in for service for three weeks. I was interested to note that nothing came up on the dash to indicate a service was required once I had hit 10,000Km.

Just booked in my first service for the 4th April, and the chap asked me "is that the 12,000km service you need"

I only have 4,000 km's on the clock but sounds like the 6 monthly is the same as the 12,000 km service. I had the same scenerio on my previous car which was a HSV. I just don't do enough km's to trigger the service intervals before the 6 month window arrives.
