I remember having this warning with mine too but although I did check the oil levels periodically, it never actually went down. It was still only just below MAX when they changed the oil at the first service... I assume it's a CYA measure by LR.

Just thought I'd add to the ubiquitous and unanimous "oil level not moving" comment after several thousand miles. Indeed, same with the water and other fluids. However, reliability not quite the same for transmission fault warning messages.., I now have my own bay at the dealership along with a personal courtesy car!!!! |
