Defender Maintenance Schedule
 
 

You’re proud when driving your Defender around Baton Rouge, Gonzales, and Lafayette, Louisiana. To continue cruising around town with pride, follow the designated maintenance schedule for your car.

Land Rover Baton Rouge can help you do this with regular appointments and solid advice, including what’s found in this quick guide.

 
Daily Monitoring Checks for Baton Rouge LA Drivers

Whether you commute daily in your Defender or use it here and there, it’s a good idea to check it out every day. That way, you can spot minor issues before they blossom into major ones.

Your most frequently used features can be looked over, like the lights, horns, turn signals, air conditioner, and wiper blades. Step inside the vehicle and see how the seat belts are working.

If you happen to go out or move your car for any other reason, check underneath the vehicle for any unusual fluid deposits.

 
Recommended Weekly Defender Maintenance

Once a week, you can monitor some other features that may not need such close attention. Most likely, you’re at least using the Defender weekly, or you could check your car during downtime like a Sunday afternoon.

See that your fluid levels do not need to be topped off. This includes engine oil and coolant levels, brake fluid, and windshield wiper fluid.

Stop and check out your tire pressure. Invest in a tire gauge to take a quick look at home or stop by a public place that can fill your tires, as well. If you’re more comfortable visiting our dealership, feel free to do so.

 
16,000 Miles

Did you know that your Defender sends out an alert at this milestone? If the odometer hits this mile marker or it’s been a year since you bought or leased your SUV, this reminder will appear to nudge you to schedule service.

Services you may need include oil changes and tire rotations. Other areas that will be examined include:

  • Wiper blades
  • Tires
  • Parking brake
  • Exterior lights
  • Drive belts

Your vehicle’s exhaust system will be inspected, as well as the fluid levels of various systems, including the power steering and the cooling systems.

Additionally, make sure that your cabin air filter and the air cleaning element get replaced to purify the air and keep out unwanted allergens.

32,000 Miles

At this future milestone, service will resemble that of the previous milestone. You’ll get an oil change and add these other valuable services.

Your Defender will receive an inspection of the suspension system, wiring harness, and steering wheel column and system. The entire braking system and hoses under the hood will also receive an examination.

63,000 Miles

Regular oil changes will be administered. Plus, other oils will be replaced, including the rear differential oil and the transfer box oil. The former controls the spin of your rear tires while the latter switches between the gears and requires oil lubrication every so often.

Your cabin air filter can be replaced at this mile marker along with the air cleaning element.

At this point, you’ll want to get your spark plugs checked out. In order for your Defender to move forward, you’ll want them replaced if it’s time.
