Has anyone done fluid changes on a 2002 Discovery II with Jiffy lube or similar outfit (for 60k service).

Thanks

 

Jiffylube can change your oil but here's a list of what should be done on the 60k service (From DiscoMike). It's your call.


1 Oil filter, K&N 3001 or Mobil 1- 301
1 Factory air filter
6 Qts. of engine oil
2 feet of 3/16th vacuum tube
2 feet of 5/16th vacuum tube

3 Pints of synthetic DOT 4 Brake fluid

2 Gallons of OAT, orange coolant, also called DexCool
1 Bottle of Lucas Power Steering additive

1 Serpentine belt
2 Bottles of SeaFoam gas additive
1 T/Stat
1 bottle of WaterWetter or Purple Ice
Hoses and belts, as necessary

Service the tranny adding one bottle of additive
Change the coolant and t/stat
Do an engine flush before changing the oil
Do an induction cleaning
Clean the throttle body
Add fuel additive to full gas tank
Change both of the diffs fluid
Change the t/case oil
Replace the plugs and wires
Replace the air filter
Lube all the drive shaft grease fitting including the 2 slip shafts
Do full inspection of brakes, hoses, bushings etc.

 

Don't use the dealer, that work will cost you in excess of $1400 thru them and Jiffy lube is by no way qualified to do this sort of work.
Do it your self at a cost of around $350, I can walk you thru it.

 

Thanks guys for the advice. Mike - What number can I reach you on when I'm ready to get this going. Will I need any special equipment or tools.

 

PM me with your tele number and I'll call you right back.

 

I don't know what dealer is charging $1400 for a 60k ( I'm sure they are out there ), you might want to shop around. My LR dealership is only charging roughly $650 for the factory recomended service maintenance scheduled 60k on a 2003 to 2004 disco. There are upgrades for engine oil flush ( as needed only!!! ) and upper intake fuel injection cleaning ( $150 ish, recomended once a year ). Spark plug WIRES are not recomended and trans oil is only drain pan and refill ( recomend full trans flush if fluid is dark ONLY! ). You also get new spark plugs, air filter, engine oil and filter ( up to 7 quarts ), t-box fluid drain, brake inspection e-brake adjustment, check all bushings and lines, check seat belts, lube hinges, check lights, add fuel LR fuel additive, check wipers, check and NOT replace serp belt ( unless cracked, done every 45k ). What else...?! tire pressures/check tires...etc

I DO NOT recomend any lube shop as it could turn really, really costly if they screw it up ( it happens! ).

That's my 2 bits, for what it's worth.
