Hi Guys, I was offered a Disco 5 2019 SD4 HSE with around 45k miles at the clock. I was checking LR service history and it seems that the oil was chance only twice, every 20k miles aprox.
What do you guys think? it seems a large interval to me. The car appears to be a lease, with just 1 owner, I guess the service was arranged by the lease company.

Pincho.
 
Some oils are designed for such a replacement interval (long life) thanks to the high-quality base and additives, but I prefer to follow a simple rule for diesel engines - one liter of oil in the engine works for 1000 kilometers. If 7 liters of oil are poured into the engine, please replace it after 7 (8) thousand kilometers. More frequent replacements will not hurt your pocket as much as a broken diesel engine.
 
As above, the 3.0L is prone to failure also, if you have good search around t'web you'll see in various forums that these engines are troublesome. Have a look at something else within budget from the LR big house.
