I guess the DPF dillution is a known issue which would trigger an oil change alert, but it's not guaranteed to be this issue. You might have a faulty dilution sensor, a hole in the sump, or the oil service interval was set up incorrectly at the factory. It's hard to say. I definitely would not thrash it down the motorway for a couple of hours to see if that solves the problem! Laughing
For peace of mind's sake, and to avoid a potentially seriously ruinous bill, spend a couple of hundred to have LR look at it - (this is kinda what we've signed up for in owning these vehicles).

I would just change oil and filter myself and reset the service. Then take it for the 21k miles service as per Advertisment.


By the time mine had done 12,000 miles the oil had been changed twice. l don't subscribe to the 21,000 mile first oil change.
From now on it will get changed every 10,000

When I bought a 90 turbo diesel in 1990, the oil/filter change was stated at 3000 miles. 5000 miles if you used SHPD oil. That was mineral oil. Funnily enough I kept to the 3000mile service interval when I moved to a 200 tdi with semi synthetic oil. Now with a Puma 2.4 I do it at 6000 mile. Like mentioned earlier, the astronomical oil change intervals stated on all new cars are a sales thing and beloved of leasing firms! 1982 88" 2.25 diesel
1992 110 200tdi csw -Zikali
2008 110 2.4 tdci csw-Zulu
2011 110 2.4 tdci csw-Masai
