Freelander 2 (LR2) Engine oil Change MY 2007

Well yesterdays dry day was taken advantage of by doing a quick engine oil and filter change from today and over the weekend the rear diff, PTU, and the Haldex, gearbox oils will be changed.

Move onto the oil changes above today and this weekend.

The rusty pipe is the boost pipe from the turbo to intercooler. It's much more rusty than mine is, but that could be down to mine being wet with oil before I fix the oil leaks.

Hi John.
Yes it seems to have got worse over the last couple of years, not sure but are the boost pipe stainless. hopefully by the end of Sunday it will look totally different.

If they're stainless, it's really low quality stainless. At least the inside won't go rusty.

Sunday i only managed to do the rear diff oil, today has been a wash out again, hopefully tomorrow will let me do a little more.
