The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

TypeSpecifications
Discovery 1 4.0 V8i (1995-1998)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 2,9 liter
Discovery 1 3.9 V8i (1993-1995)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 2,9 liter

Additional Notes

  • The Land Rover Discovery 1 LJ (USA) power steering system holds 2.9 liters across both the 3.9 V8i and 4.0 V8i engine variants, indicating a consistent reservoir and circuit volume between the two generations.
  • A 2.9-liter capacity for a power steering system is relatively large compared to many passenger vehicles, which typically fall in the 1.0-to-1.5-liter range, suggesting an expanded hydraulic circuit likely associated with the vehicle's body-on-frame construction and larger steering components.
  • The 3.9 V8i, covering 1993-1995, and the 4.0 V8i, covering 1995-1998, share the same 2.9-liter power steering fluid capacity, meaning no volumetric change was introduced when the engine displacement was revised mid-production.
  • Both configurations carry a normal use condition designation, meaning the 2.9-liter capacity figure applies to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty or off-road-specific service scenarios.
