Hi,

The car had it's first service last week and today I checked the oil level on the dash and a message appeared saying the oil was overfilled.

I guess they put in too much, but looking in the manual there are dire warnings about not driving the vehicle, etc.

I have done probably 50 miles since the service and not noticed a problem and will call the dealer on Monday.

Can anyone explain what the problems may be and as it it is 30 miles to the dealer, can I drive there?

Cheers

I would check it again, if you still get the same warning, call L/R assist and go from there, i wouldn't drive it otherwise you may be responsible for any damaged caused, or they will try and blame you for their incompetence. If you need to use a motor between now and monday, get L/R assist to provide you with one.

Update

Checked the oil level again this morning and the same message.

Why could Land Rover not put a dipstick in the tube? It would be so easy then to see if there was a real overfill problem and by how much.

Anyway looking at the manual page



It says check with the engine oil hot, the car had been standing for 5 days so all the oil must have really drained down.

After running the engine I then checked again, it took best part of 30 minutes not 10 for a reading to be available.
It said the level was OK and displayed half full.

After an hour I checked again and now it reads full and OK.
Again after 3 hours still reading full and OK.

I guess it was filled to just slightly over the correct amount and probably not worth worrying about? 2023 P440e SE Dynamic on order -cancelled
