Land Rover Discovery is a British-designed mid-size SUV, launched in 1989. The car is one of Land Rover's most popular flagship models, alongside the premium and more expensive Range Rover. Today, the fifth generation of Land Rover Discovery is being produced. The modern model uses a new design concept, innovative technologies and high-tech motors. So, the engine range of the fifth "Discovery" is represented by two powerful engines - a 3.0 liter gasoline engine (340 hp), as well as a 3-liter diesel engine with 249 horsepower.

The Discovery story began in 1989, when the very first SUV was introduced. The car received a gasoline range of engines, consisting of engines of 2.0 (136 HP), 3.5 (152 HP) and 3.9 liters (182 HP). A diesel 2.5-liter version with 107 hp was also available. with., also available in a 113-strong version (since 1995).

Recommended oil volume for Land Rover Discovery engines

In the mid-1990s, Land Rover significantly increased the production of its cars. So, in 1995, the total volume for the first time exceeded 100 thousand pieces. Discovery turned out to be the best-selling of all Land Rovers.

The second generation model has not undergone significant changes compared to its predecessor. In 2004, sales of the third generation of Discovery began, which retained the proportions of the old models, but at the same time had more presentable and impressive forms. The SUV was equipped with petrol internal combustion engines of 4.0 and 4.4 liters, with a capacity of 219 and 300 "horses", respectively. A 190-horsepower 2.7-liter diesel was also offered. The third generation model was also content with the unique Terrain Response system, which adapted the car to the characteristics of the road surface.

In 2005, sales of the trial version of the Discovery 4 began, which had the factory designation Concept 802. In fact, it was an unsuccessful development, with the exception of the cool design (it was then used in subsequent versions of Range Rover). This version was only offered with a 2.7-liter diesel engine.

The fourth generation car was "brought to mind" only in the late 2000s. The car debuted in 2009 and received a whole range of innovative technologies that were aimed at improving fuel efficiency, increasing power and reducing harmful emissions. The top-end development was a three-liter diesel engine with two turbochargers. Its torque reached 600 N / m.

In the spring of 2010, Castrol organized a "Castrol Challenge Day" on the grounds of the Land Rover Experence School in the Moscow Region. Where new types of oils for the car were presented

After the introductory part, everyone who wished to attend the event was able to go to the practical part - the “main one” - to test their “favorites” off-road, namely to get a course of off-road driving. And at the end of the meeting, Castrol organized a competition. As it turned out, there were many who wanted, but no one was left without attention and a consolation prize.

For information. More recently, at the beginning of the 21st century, the Land Rover company signed a partnership with Castrol. And she began to develop oils specifically for Land Rover engines. And today you can already see on the labels of plastic containers of oils "Designed for Land Rover", and on the very neck of the engine oil cover the inscription "Castrol"
