The oil will need changing if it hasn't already been done on a 2005 car, is the simple answer. LR say it's ok for 150k miles but the manufacturer reckons less than half that at 50-75k miles or 8 years whichever is sooner.

There are no specific symptoms that the oil needs changing but there are symptoms that it has corrupted the torque converter lock up clutch. The usual symptom is a juddering under load - the so-called cattle grid effect.

The best way to change the oil is a "mega flush" where the transmission's oil cooler pipes are re-routed to connect to a machine that replaces all of the oil. The usual LR method of draining the oil from the drain plug doesn't get much oil out as most is held in the torque converter.
RRSTDV8 is bang on Land Rover say oil for life everybody else says circa 80,000. AS RRSTDV8 says machine flush removes 95% of old oil manual change removes 60% of old oil. It is well documented no oil change causes viabration whic can lead to crankshaft snapping amongst other things.
