I wonder how much oil the dealer charges for?
The manual says 7 litres, in the video it's 5 litres to the bottom of the dipstick, so anther litre to the top seems reasonable.
I've just changed mine, the Shell oil came in 1 litre containers, and it took exactly 6 litres to the top of the dipstick.

Thanks very much for the service resetting procedure - worked a treat.

Agreed that it was one of the easiest oil changes I have done for many years - the Freelander 2 was guaranteed to rip the skin off your knuckles against the radiator.

The problem is that there are two service indicators. One is regular based on time/mileage, the other is based on the estimated oil dilution. Changing the oil without resetting the indicator is not going to help. The oil dilution estimate is just that, there is no sensor that will sample the oil and determine that it is no longer diluted, or that the oil is actually diluted. Change the oil and not reset the indicator is a sure way of LR getting out of any engine warranty, at which point you might as well get the servicing done by an independent and save a couple of hundred pounds per service - if not more, speaking as someone who has just been quoted £630 for a 42,000 mile (3 year) service. The service sheet says replace brake fluid, what's the chance that it A) is an extra or B) gets ignored?
