Welcome to the forum
You don’t say which engine is in your 130 - I assume being in the USA it’s a P400. The oil change interval is shown in the online owner’s manual and many consider the interval to be too long. I had a D240 4 cylinder diesel for nearly 3 years, its oil change interval was 21000 miles or 2 years whichever came first. I dis-regarded it and had a battle with the dealership when I wanted an oil and filter change done at 11,000 miles/ 12 months. Eventually they agreed (only after I said I would go to a local independent LR specialist for the work!) and did it out of schedule and at the same time they filled the AdBlu and as well as changing the the oil filter they changed the pollen filter and did it for an amazingly low cost. The car then had its official 1st service that is basically an oil and filter change on schedule at 2 years old. The only issue with doing out of schedule servicing is that you must use JLR approved parts and oils to maintain your warranty - hence why I really wanted the dealership to do it as it was then also recorded in the car’s electronic service records held by JLR. Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come 2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed! |

Yes it's a P400 engine and I couldn't agree with your story more. There's no harm in changing the oil more frequently and it should be an easy process. The Land Rover dealership is an hours away from me so I really want to make sure the car, while under warranty, is looked at by professionals while I learn up on how to maintain it afterwards.

Steven Firth in Canada posted this on YouTube - he’s a bit further away from his dealership too!
As I said earlier make sure you use JLR kit and keep your receipts just in case they call into doubt if you have to make a warranty claim.

l would certainly carry out an oil change before it hits 10,000 miles.
Your dealer will carry out the oil change but l doubt they will do it for free. |
