This car must be female, it changes it's mind so often. Noticed the "service required" reminder had disappeared this morning, checked the "range to oil service" and it has gone up to 3500 miles!

Have a read through the "Service Interval" and "Oil analysis " on this section of the DS forum

Well, a software update (even though it had three last August to supposedly cure this issue) - to do with the instrument cluster I understand (waiting for the paperwork to see what it was).

From a quick flick through those threads, it appears that JLR's response is to update the diesel dilution algorithm so it doesn't flag up an oil change so often. Sounds like the same attitude from other issues - the engines will almost certainly survive to 3 years and then fall out of JLR's warranty responsibility and in to the hands of third parties. Third parties will, presumably, find ways to avoid paying for engine failures caused by oil dilution. The result: JLR owners left high and dry.

And to think how many are out there that will only get serviced when indicated but don't reason with the accelerated count down, then they'll into the 2nd hand market in a few years with tired/compromised engines? Steve. 2006 2.7 TDV6 HSE in Cairns Blue. |

This is partly a consequence of the oil dilution and partly poor quality parts. Can affect all 2.0d Ingenium engines including RRS, Velar and Jags in addition to the DS

So - this morning I asked exactly how this dealer decided the oil did not need changing last week.

It IS possible, but I don't care to contemplate that thought. MY2016 HSE D SDV6 - gone due to fuel dilution problems.
