Additional Notes

  • The Land Rover Discovery 1 LJ (USA) carries a 1.7-liter fluid capacity for both the front and rear differentials across all listed configurations, a figure that reflects a standard service fill volume for axle differentials of this class.
  • The 3.9 V8i (1993-1995) and the 4.0 V8i (1995-1998) share identical front and rear differential capacities of 1.7 liters, meaning no variation in differential fluid volume exists between the two engine displacements.
  • A 30,000-mile change interval applies to both the front and rear differentials on the 3.9 V8i under normal use conditions, indicating a moderate-duty service schedule rather than an extended or severe-service cycle.
  • The 4.0 V8i carries the same 30,000-mile differential fluid change interval as the 3.9 V8i, applied equally to both axles under normal use conditions.
  • The front and rear differentials on both engine variants share not only the same 1.7-liter capacity but also the same 30,000-mile service interval, indicating a symmetrical maintenance schedule across both axles for the full 1993-1998 model range.
