Routine service items

These are the items covered in a standard service. Most garages include oil, oil filter and a basic inspection. The rest are typically checked or replaced on a schedule.

Service item	Interval	Typical cost
Engine oil and filter Land Rover specifies 16,000 miles or 12 months. L560	16,000 miles or 1 year	£150–£250 Dealer: £300–£450
Air filter Replace every 32,000 miles or 2 years. Check more frequently in dusty conditions. Clogged filter reduces power and increases fuel consumption on turbocharged engines. L560	32,000 miles or 2 years	£40–£80 Dealer: £80–£120
Cabin pollen filter Annual replacement recommended. Clogged filter reduces HVAC efficiency and can cause fogging. Access requires removing glove box. L560	16,000 miles or 1 year	£60–£100 Dealer: £100–£150
Fuel filter Replace every 32,000 miles on diesel variants. Water separator function is critical for UK fuel quality. Clogged filter causes power loss and potential injector damage. L560	32,000 miles or 2 years	£80–£150 Dealer: £150–£250

Major service items

Periodic maintenance

Items that don't need doing at every service but should be on your radar at the right mileage or age.

Service item	Interval	Typical cost
Brake fluid Replace every 2 years regardless of mileage. Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, reducing boiling point and causing internal corrosion. Use DOT 4 specification fluid. L560	2 years	£80–£120 Dealer: £150–£200
Coolant flush Land Rover specifies 10 years or 150,000 miles for initial coolant change. Many specialists recommend 5-year intervals due to UK climate and potential contamination from engine issues. L560	150,000 miles or 10 years	£150–£250 Dealer: £250–£400
DPF forced regeneration DPF regeneration occurs automatically every 300-600 miles depending on driving conditions. L560	600 miles	£80–£150 Dealer: £150–£250
