MY10 oil change

Have 9000 miles on my MY10 RRS (5.0 petrol, N/A). Decided to get an oil change - thought that the scheduled 15k miles were just too many for a 1st change. My local dealer said that they didn't have pricing from LR North America for the service, so I was asked to pay an arbitrary amount - $190! The same service for a 2009 is about $90.

Furthermore, mine was the 1st MY10 done at the dealer, and it was a bit of an experiment ... Eventually, I should say, the dealer refunded me for the oil change, but I had to make a trip back after being informed that the lube job "may have been done incorrectly according to the MY10 procedures."

Has anyone else done the same with a MY10? Is there set pricing yet in the UK or Eur?

I think you will find very few owners in Europe who have their RRS's oil changed before it is necessary - we pay unbelievable prices for oil so make it go the distance the oil majors claim it will go. No harm in changing oil early, but here it will hit your wallet very hard, but if the oil is formulated to go 15, or 17 or 20,000 miles why not let it go that distance? Diesel engined cars go the same distance on their oil too even though it goes jet black after the first 10 miles of use! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Did they use the "drain" or "suck" method to get the old oil out? Laughing Unlike 2005-2009, the 2010 shop manual lists both as part of the oil change procedure, not sure if it's because some Land Rover engines no longer include a drain plug or because the vacuum method might be faster...

While I was watching, they only drained. They tell me they siphoned oil at the end, but it's still not entirely clear to me why they wanted me to return urgently for them to "make sure it was done correctly." Turns out, they had to add oil as per the in dash oil level display. Shocked Scuderia RR
