Most motors with same engine [Transit etc] are on a 20,000 mile or two yearly oil change regime.
So up to you ... personally I change my oil and filter yearly, even though like you I only cover about 4 or 5 thousand miles a year. You can't change it too often, but can leave it too late .... Guns and Landrovers .... anything else is irrelevant. |

I do mine every year too, It gets a good clean and service soon after the end of the shooting season. I only do about 3K a year but think it is worth doing anyway.

+1.
Under 10k miles/annum (on 30,000 miles and nearly 5 years old) Now got a Femco drain plug, so it's so easy. Costs around £50 I guess for oil & filter, but worth it for peace of mind Defender "Puma" 2.4 110 County Utility (possibly the last of the 2.4's) |

Yep annually on mine too.
It's 5 years old and only done 16k, but for the cost it's a no brainer |

Annually or before 10K miles.. The oil is as black as a black thing in Blacksville, with the lights out, on a foggy day at night!!!!

I do about 3 k per year but still do the annual change if I did more miles I would change at about 6k but expect upto 12k would be fine, not expensive using castrol when on offer at Asda and a quick job. DEFENDER 90 TDCI XS,
I hope everyone is well and your land rovers make you happy |
