- 🚨🚙 Maintenance Alert! In today's video, I check the oil pressure of the Discovery 4 / LR4, which could potentially save us from expensive engine damage. We'll be diving into how to efficiently measure the oil pressure on your Land Rover LR4 Discovery 4. It's a simple process that won't break the bank and can be done in no time.
☝️ It is also worth mentioning that our Land Rover Discovery 4 / LR4 contains the 5W-40 C3 oil and not the 5W-30.
By regularly monitoring your oil pressure, you'll be able to safeguard your engine and ensure it's running smoothly. I'll walk you through the steps and also provide insights into the recommended pressures at different engine speeds. So, if you're a Land Rover owner looking to keep your vehicle in top-notch condition, this video is a must-watch!
Let's get started,
Peter

Hi Peter
I would like highlighted some crucial points for enhancing engine protection and performance.
Using a more viscous oil like w50, which has a stronger base and fewer viscosity-improving polymers, is indeed beneficial for maintaining oil pressure under high oil temperatures, such as 110-120 degrees Celsius. While the fluidity difference between w40 and w50 oils is minor, the higher HTHS value and viscosity of w50 provide better protection. This is particularly important for demanding driving conditions like mountain roads or high-speed autobahns, where oil pressure can drop significantly without adequate viscosity.
Lowering coolant and oil temperatures to the range of 80-90 degrees Celsius across all operating conditions is optimal. Replacing the thermostat with one that opens at a lower temperature, such as 82 degrees Celsius, is a good idea for maintaining optimal engine temperature. This modification helps ensure that the engine operates within a cooler temperature range, which can contribute to better performance and longevity, especially in hot climates or under heavy load conditions.
Replacing the original oil pressure sensor with one that alerts you if oil pressure falls below 1 bar is a proactive step to safeguard engine health.
Moreover, changing the oil every 5,000-6,000 kilometers ensures fresh lubrication and extends engine life. Replacing the oil pump every 100,000 kilometers with an original part is prudent for consistent performance.
I hope this information is helpful.
Hi Peter, be aware that the alternator varies the voltage according to the state of the charge in the battery and the demand placed on the system. Sometimes the voltage will drop to prevent a full battery being overcharged. Sometimes my alternator reads as low as 11.9v whilst at other times it is up around 14.4v. I have noticed that after a long drive or spending some hours going from place to place the voltage will drop. As I said this is some sort of clever tech designed to protect your battery. But I would advise getting it checked. Cheers. Ty
very good, thanks!!
Super merci très bonne vidéo
Good suggestion but the best idea is to also replace your oil pump every-time you replace the timing belt being every 6 years or 160k. Not overly expensive but cheap insurance over time.
Australia
interesting, thanks!
Yep! 🎉 check alternator pulley and tensioner… very same with my disco~~~^^* 😊
awsome!
Hi Peter, what was the ticking noise? Was it ever diagnosed?
Great video, I was looking to do this to my discovery 4 in the coming weeks, it’s was very easy and clear thank you. Can you also tell me what your snorkel is, it’s so good I want one ! Thanks Brett
Thank you! The snorkel is from Terrafirma and is called Mantec. The plus point of this one is that it makes almost no wind noise 👍🏻 Best, Peter
@@notthatkindofachannel great, thank you Peter. Keep up the great work !
Even you have good oil pressure your crank shaft could still snap anyway. That happened to me on my 2010 LR4 SDV6 after ~230k km ...
Sad to hear that. Did you did all repairs or bought new LR4?
Sehr gutes Video 😊 wie viel KM hat der Disco gelaufen?
Aktuell steht er bei 261.000, wobei er vom Vorbesitzer unter Garantie schon einen neuen Motor bei 80.000 erhalten hat.
Very good video thank you! Please link us to the pressure gauge and extension you used. I need to check mine it has 89,000 miles but no ticking noise. Only when very cold a slightly uneven idle for about 10 seconds.
Hey @Terry-zs4ir, the pressure gauge you'll find in description below the video ☺️ 👍
But here's the shortcut: Oil Pressure Gauge: amzn.to/3TPfcRk and the Extension: amzn.to/3PMojkP Best, Peter
@@notthatkindofachannel Thanks Peter.
Hi Peter, what is the sensor that you removed? Is it oil temperature sensor?
Thanks !
Hey! No, it's the oil pressure sensor ;) Best, Peter
Hi Peter interesting video I have a question, does the sensor unscrew easily? does it have a copper washer for sealing? Is there a risk of breaking it? Thank you
Hey, yes, it's very easy and you don't need much force. No, there is no washer for the seal, but you can - if necessary - use a Teflon tape that is temperature-resistant. But please do not use too much, as the sealing compound still present on the sensor => Part Number: LR000281 is normally sufficient.
Best, Peter
Ok thanks i think also it's better to do it with a cold engine
To install the gauge, yes. But for the measurement the engine needs to be at its working temperature.
and regarding the oil density I suppose that the result will be different between 5/30 and 5/40
Thanks for the tip, I will add in the description that I have tested it with 5W-40 👍
Hallo Peter. Immer noch keine Motorwäsche gemacht.😉
Hallo Walter, kommt noch 😄 Zuerst muss mal der Unterboden gemacht werden
