Lubricants & Fluids

Recommendations for all climates and conditions.

NOTE: Recommended oils are complete in themselves and additives should not be used.
NOTE: It is essential to change oil much more frequently if the vehicle is operated under severe
conditions, especially if deep wading is carried out.
Engine oil - Petrol vehicles - 1.8 litre & 2.5 litre - V6
Use a 10W/40 oil meeting specification ACEA: A2 or A3 and having a viscosity band recommended
for the temperature range of your locality.
Engine oil - Diesel vehicles
Use a 0W/30, 5W/30, 5W/40, 5W/50, 10W/30, 10W/40 or 10W/60 oil meeting specification ACEA:
A3 and B3, and having a viscosity band recommended for the temperature range of your locality.
Engine oil temperature ranges
0W/30 will protect from -30C to 35C.
5W/30 will protect from -30C to 35C .
5W/40 will protect from -30C to 50C.
5W/50 will protect from -30C to 50C.
10W/30 will protect from -10C to 30C.
10W/40 will protect from -10C to 50C.
10W/60 will protect from -10C to 50C.
Manual gearbox
Use Texaco MTF 94 oil.
Automatic gearbox
Use Texaco N402 oil.
Intermediate Reduction Drive
Texaco 55 75W/90 or oil to meet API GL5.
Rear Differential
Texaco Multigear 80W/90 ETL 7441 or oil to meet API GL5.

215

Lubricants & Fluids

Brake reservoir
Universal brake fluids or any brake fluid having a minimum boiling point of 260C and complying with
FMVSS 116 DOT4.

Wheels & Tyres

WHEELS & TYRES
Wheels & Tyres

WARNING
ALWAYS use the same make and type of radial-ply tyres front and back. DO NOT use
cross-ply tyres, or interchange tyres from front to back.

For optimum performance and handling ALWAYS replace tyres with the same make and type
as those fitted from new at the factory. If these tyres are not available, consult your retailer
for advice on Land Rover approved alternatives. Failure to do so may adversely affect vehicle
handling.

NEVER drive your vehicle if the tyres are badly worn, cut or damaged, or if the pressures are
incorrect.

Incorrectly inflated tyres wear rapidly and can seriously affect the vehicle's safety and road
handling characteristics.

Your vehicle is fitted with tubeless road wheels that will NOT accept inner tubes. DO NOT fit
a tube tyre.

ONLY Land Rover approved wheel and tyre combinations should be fitted to the vehicle.

road speeds are limited to 100 km/h and tyre pressures are increased by at least 21 kPa (3 lbf/in2).
NOTE: A range of accessory wheels and tyres is available for your Land Rover Discovery. Consult
your Land Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer for a full description of all options.

To increase stability, it is recommended that you adjust the nose weight to the maximum limit,
when loading to the maximum trailer weight.

NOTE: If the trailer weight exceeds 1800 kg, the vehicle payload must be restricted (ie. to less than
the Gross Vehicle Weight) to ensure the loaded combination is within the Gross Train Weight limit.

Fuel Consumption
FUEL CONSUMPTION
Fuel Consumption

The fuel consumption figures shown below have been calculated using a standard testing procedure
(the new EC test procedure from Directive 93/116/EC), and produced in accordance with The
Passenger Car Fuel Consumption (Amendment) Order 1996. Under normal use, a car's actual fuel
consumption figures may differ from those achieved through the test procedure, depending on
driving technique, road and traffic conditions, environmental factors, vehicle load and condition.

Urban cycle
The urban test cycle is carried out from a cold start and consists of a series of accelerations,
decelerations and periods of steady speed driving and engine idling. The maximum speed attained
during the test is 31 mph (50 km/h) with an average speed of 12 mph (19 km/h).
Extra-urban cycle
The extra urban test cycle is carried out immediately after the urban test. Approximately half of the
test comprises steady-speed driving, while the remainder consists of a series of accelerations,
decelerations and engine idling. The maximum test speed is 75 mph (120 km/h) and the average
speed 39 mph (63 km/h). The test is carried out over a distance of 4.3 miles (7 km).
Combined
The combined figure is an average of the urban and extra-urban test cycle results, which has been
weighted to take account of the different distances covered during the two tests.
NOTE: These figures should not be compared with figures produced using the ECE/EEC procedure
previously required by The Passenger Car Fuel Consumption Order 1983. Because of the changes in
test procedure, even the urban figures would differ if the same car were subjected to both tests.

DECLARATIONS OF CONFORMITY
Appendices

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The Declarations of Conformity detailed on the following pages
are from manufacturers of RF (Radio Frequency) equipment,
whose components are used in the manufacture of your Land
Rover Freelander.
These manufacturers state that their components comply with
relevant rules of the R & TTE ( Radio and Telecommunication
Terminal Equipment) directive.
The directive requires the manufacturer of short range radio
devices to self certify that RF parts fitted to Land Rover
vehicles are fit for use and that the declarations are supplied
with the vehicle documentation. If at a future date a technical
inspection is required, the declarations will provide all
necessary information.
NOTE: The Declarations of Conformity are published in the native language of
the RF equipment manufacturer, in compliance with the R & TTE Directive.
