Here's why:
* Engine Variations: Land Rover Discovery TD models have been produced with different engine types over the years (e.g., 2.5TD, 2.0 TD4, 3.0 TD6, etc.). Each engine has specific oil requirements.
* Oil Technology: The recommended oil grade can change depending on the year of manufacture and the specific engine technology.
To find the correct engine oil grade for your Discovery TD, follow these steps:
1. Locate your vehicle's owner's manual: The manual will provide the most accurate information about the recommended oil grade and viscosity for your specific vehicle.
2. Check the engine oil cap: There's often a sticker on the engine oil cap with oil recommendations.
3. Consult a Land Rover dealer or mechanic: They can help you determine the appropriate oil grade based on your vehicle's model year and engine.
Important Note: Using the wrong grade of engine oil can damage your engine. Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations.
