How to Change the Oil and Filter on a Land Rover Evoque

Model: Land Rover Evoque L538, MK 1 - Years 2011-2018
Part: Checks and maintenance

First, lift the hood and secure it with the prop rod. Next, remove the plastic cover and then unscrew the oil filter. After removing the plastic cover, take out the screws. To loosen the oil filter, use a cup wrench (65 / 14). Then, remove the plug located under the vehicle; first, lift the oil dipstick and unscrew the oil fill cap. (If you work with a hot engine, the oil drains out faster). After raising the vehicle and securing it with jack stands, remove the undercarriage cover to access the 13 mm plug. Place a drain pan underneath to let all the oil drain out. While the oil finishes dripping, unscrew the oil filter, bringing it almost to complete removal. After a few minutes, remove the filter completely. Replace the filter with a new one and tighten it to about 2.5 lb-ft. Screw in the plug under the engine like a regular bolt with a 13 mm wrench. Refill the oil (0w-30) with 6.5 quarts. Job complete.
