Oil change every 21,000 miles??

Next time I go into the dealership I’m only going to ask them to do what the manual requires.

If you have a P300 I'll send you my old Mightyvac for free. I have never used it since we sold our LR4s and I was going to throw it out. It certainly paid for itself after 40 LR4 oil changes. Just send me a PM with your name & address.
If you have a P400 you need the OEM tools model 24938 extractor with 9.5 liter capacity. Amazon no longer sells it but just look it up in Google and find another seller.

Get's it all out.

Curiously the oil shown above meets the old LR oil spec, but the Liqui Moly TopTek 6600 LR (0W20) is the correct oil that meets both the old spec and the new.
Very confusing since the spec number is lower both before and after the period (not meant to be a decimal number, but that's what everyone thinks).
If you click on the Amazon link above, it will tell you that the oil is not for your vehicle, but clicking below on "What Fits" my vehicle takes you here:
Liqui Moly 22046 Top Tec 6600 SAE 0W-20 Synthetic Motor Oil, 5 Liter
https://Amazon.com/d/4uvon1Y
Of courier, it's a couple bucks more - and you need two per oil change (7.8L = P300, 8.8L = P400).

Surely Land Rover is only interested in the vehicle lasting the warranty period plus a few years after that.
They're not interested in it lasting 200,000 miles.
Changing the oil more often than the 21,000 interval probably won't see any difference until you get to high mileage, say over 100,000
After that, who knows if changing the oil every 10,000 for the first 100,000 will have made the engine last longer.
But if the engine does fail at that age/mileage the vehicle is likely to be uneconomical to repair.
So l am going to play safe and get the oil changed every 10,000
