Oil & filter changes should be done more frequently than the absurd LR frequency.
My new D350 90 has been done at 3500 miles and 7 months.
Next will be at 12 months.

Why?
Service intervals on many modern cars are 2-3 years and have been long before jlr went that way.

I remember when people did 6 month services and although i try to do annual changes, times move on

It was at the dealer for 2 months due to a knackered dcdc converter and back order replacement. I asked for a complimentary oil and filter change and it was granted  MY25 90 D350 X-Dynamic HSE in Silicon Silver and coil sprung

Many Range Rovers and Land Rovers over the years 😂

I dont agree at all. Although i not you confuse key points.

There are many advances in technology to increase service intervals and reduce operating costs. Longevity is a feature but we all know the component life cycle is a high early then drops, then increases with age - where that increase failure comes also is defined by many factors

My tractor has 2 year hydraulic fluid service intervals - many other cars have service periods well in excess of land rover, miles and age

Theres no harm in more frequent servicing, but it isnt accurate to say that 24 month service in normal conditions is harmful just because you havent changed the engine oil and therefore it must be bad and as such all cars with 2yr service will not last.
