Land Rover Discovery, L462 (EU)

AdBlue (DEF) capacity & service interval

Land Rover Discovery, L462 (EU) models utilize AdBlue (DEF) with a capacity of 18 liters. The data covers 3 configurations.

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

TypeSpecifications
Discovery 3.0 SD6 DPF (225 kW) (2018-2020)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 18 liter
Discovery 2.0 SD4 (2016-2020)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 18 liter
Discovery 2.0 TD4 (2016-2018)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 18 liter

Additional Notes

  • All three engine configurations listed for the Land Rover Discovery L462 (EU) share an identical AdBlue tank capacity of 18 liters, which is a relatively large reservoir by passenger vehicle standards and is associated with extended refill intervals between scheduled services.
  • The 18-liter figure represents the full tank capacity rather than a top-up quantity, meaning a complete fill from empty would require the entire 18 liters of diesel exhaust fluid.
  • Each configuration carries a note identifying the presence of a selective catalytic reduction system, which is the emissions control technology that consumes AdBlue by injecting it into the exhaust stream to convert nitrogen oxides into nitrogen and water vapor.
  • The capacity specification applies under normal use conditions across all three listed engine variants, meaning the 18-liter figure is not adjusted for severe-duty or other alternative operating conditions in the data provided.
  • The 2.0 SD4 and 2.0 TD4 are both four-cylinder diesel engines sharing the same 18-liter AdBlue capacity as the larger 3.0 SD6 DPF six-cylinder unit rated at 225 kW, indicating a uniform tank design across the L462 platform regardless of engine displacement or output.
  • The 2.0 TD4 variant carries a model year range of 2016-2018, while the 2.0 SD4 and 3.0 SD6 DPF (225 kW) both span 2016-2020 and 2018-2020 respectively, reflecting different production periods within the same generation.
