Bought one of those filter removal tools when in a Walmart in Florida recently, ( Family was getting the groceries for the villa) It was packaged as for a Toyota but I knew from this forum that it would be correct, cost was just 4 Dollars 50 Cents , about a fiver. yet another way that we in G.B. are over charged.

Hi Richy
You can change the oil/ filter when ever it suits you (and gives you reassurance), there is no compulsion to tell them, after all they (L.R.) only give info to you as and when it suits them, which is usually when they are cornered.
There are increasing numbers of non L.R. business"s available now which can do it for you if that is your choice rather than personally.

If you are not prepared to have comments posted on this forum then you should NOT be promoting them here, and this applies also to the recent RE posting of the "Service reset video" or do you not wish the faults in that aired also.

The oil change video at the top of this thread is actually extremely poor, (presumably the only one available at the moment) he backtracks several times, loosens the oil filter and then goes for a drive to warm the engine, (ok if your knowledgable, very risky if not) and then refers to the under body panel which has been previously removed! I spent 7 years as a training instructor and could point out many more failings. eg no safety warnings re oil , no use of gloves.

and NO I am not going to make a replacement video, Sorry,

The easiest oil filter change is when its contained in a steel container which is itself disposable, therefore no cleaning of container or changing of paper element, so cant agree with Magnet le Couchen on that, many older (non L.R. cars had that plus easier access).

6.5 litre is quote and charged for normally, as stated, from a bulk container so no doubt not actually measured by dealer.

There is also a "feel good" factor when collecting car from dealers, but this soon wears off, best to wait a few weeks to see if it lasts.
