Luxury Neglect Gets Expensive: Coolant Service and Oil Change on a 2022 Range Rover
High-end vehicles still rely on basic maintenance to survive. This 2022 Land Rover Range Rover was serviced in Carlsbad, CA for a routine oil change and coolant system service after the owner noticed the engine running warmer than normal and wanted to stay ahead of costly repairs. When performance SUVs skip maintenance, small issues quickly turn into major engine failures.
Diagnosis
During inspection, the coolant showed signs of degradation and contamination. Coolant breaks down over time, losing its ability to regulate engine temperature and protect internal components from corrosion. The engine oil was also nearing the end of its service life, appearing dark and thick, meaning lubrication and heat control were no longer operating at peak efficiency.
Modern luxury engines operate under tighter tolerances and higher heat loads. Delayed fluid service on a Range Rover can lead to overheating, sludge buildup, premature wear, and internal cooling system failure.
The Repair
The cooling system was fully serviced using manufacturer-approved coolant. The system was drained, flushed, and refilled to restore proper operating temperature and corrosion protection. A full synthetic oil change was then performed with a high-quality filter installation. All levels were re-verified and the vehicle was test-run to confirm normal temperature behavior and oil pressure.
Why Routine Maintenance Matters
Luxury does not equal low maintenance. Vehicles like the Land Rover Range Rover depend on clean oil and healthy coolant to protect turbochargers, bearings, seals, and internal engine components. Oil changes and coolant services are the cheapest safeguards against engine failure. Skipping them is how small maintenance items become five-figure repairs.
When your SUV starts running hot, showing warning lights, or going overdue on service, waiting only makes it worse. Routine maintenance is the difference between reliability and a tow truck.
