Question
what grade of oil and how many quarts does a 1998 land rover discovery need?

Answer
Hi Michael,

depends on where you live and how you drive.  Right now in N.America, 10W30 or 10W40 will do. In colder climates, 5W20 or 5W30 works well.

300Tdi takes 5.8 litres
V8i takes 6.1 litres

Buy the best you can find. I like Quaker State high mileage.

Regards,

JohnMc

Land Rover Discovery. I've had most of the common mechanical failures, altenator, water leaks, wiper failure, door/hinge problems, roof rust, floor rust, loads of electrical problems. Remember, I'm not a dealer or a mechanic, just an owner like most of you.

Owner of a Discovery. I've had many mishaps with our Disco but I still like this vehicle. Talk to a fellow LR owner instead of a dealership rep. I'm not in this for the money. I'm just an owner who wants to help others.
