With the oil filter being upside down there should be a check valve to keep the oil from draining out after it has sat for a period of time. This causes the engine to starve of oil on start up until oil pressure builds up. I am 76 years so my memory isn’t the best but my 1953 Willys Pickup had its oil filter upside down and I had the same issue with engine noise on start up. This causes wear on the bearings and other internal parts because they don’t receive oil to the bearings - rod - crankshaft- cam + pistons and so on until oil pressure builds up. Unnecessary internal wear and the noise most likely is bearing with no oil for on start up. It might be worth checking out. Thanks

Thanks Pete! It helps if you warm the oil up a bit first, though it's not completely necessary. I changed the oil (5W-40) yesterday on my Golf without heating it up and it took a while to suck all of it out, though it also gave me time to change the filter and reset the oil service indicator 🤷‍♂️

Yup, my Jag F-pace had a turbo & entire exhaust system replaced under warranty just before I bought it. The likely cause of failure was 20k oil change intervals (!) plus auto-stop/start plus low mileage (e.g. city driving in a hot climate) plus a ridiculously small filter.... Under my ownership, it will get 3k mile oil changes, cheap insurance. Just did the first of a couple of 500 mile flushes and it's already running way better.

The noise, was the bypass valve under the oil filter. Easy way to test that one, is rev the engine up to 2500, the noise should vanish, because enough volume and pressure is moving to keep the valve open all the time.

I’m sure the timing chain tensioner is ran off oil pressure and depending on how particular those engines are. The slight change in viscosity or drop in oil pressure could result in chain slap and a few degrees off of timing *depending on how sloppy it actually is*. I believe you’re on the right track.

I have had several Land Rovers and a couple Range Rovers and I would highly recommend getting rid of the air suspension. If you plannon ever driving it off road springs will treat you alot better. Lucky 8 offroad has kits to convert the springs. Another thing is as Rovers age alot of people put slightly thicker oil in as it helps with wear and compression.

Nice fix, oil change can do a lot of good. Just be careful when lifting the car with air bag suspension as you can damage the air bags when the wheels are on full droop. 2 post lifts are normally not bueno with these cars. Cheers 🍻

[@TracyCorbett]

Land Rover tech here. No need for any special procedure before lifting Rovers with air suspension. Good air struts won't be damaged at full extension. You do want to disable the air if you'll be doing work around the wheels or suspension though, so the car won't try to adjust itself while work is being done.

Against all my colleagues advice and one of those is a ``Meister´´ Mechanic I put in an oil additive called White Lightening, a bit like Slick 50, within minutes the Engine sounded a lot quieter. For bigger engines I always use Mobil1 0 or 5 oil for smooth cold starts in winter. Great video, and I was shocked that a simple oil change could just about kill all that knocking.

[@tjnucnuc]

I’d highly recommend switching to a 30 or even a 40 weight oil with that motor. My brother was a tech for many years with LR and they just suggested such a low weight oil for emissions. You’ll be surprised how much smoother it will feel with the thicker oil. This is pretty common across most euro cars. Go with platinum euro 5w-40.

[@franky6947]

5W-40 isnt thicker than a 5w-20. The 40 indicates the higher temperatur resistance of the oil. 5w indicates the viscosity at Low temperatures. Belive me im Out of the EU. ;)

[@paulanderson79]

@@franky6947 At running temperature the 5w40 will have higher kinematic velocity than 5w20. That's how multigrade oils work.

[@Rottweiler-Lover]

WHAT??? 5W-40 OIL!!! ARE YOU CRAZY??? The reason for lighter weight motor oils is so the oil can get to critical engine parts QUICKLY upon start up, which is the most critical time in an engine's life! Sure, changing to a heavier weight ("thicker") oil will make the engine run & sound "smoother" because a thicker oil will provide a dampening effect to the mechanical processes going on. JLR (Jaguar/Land Rover) has obviously done extensive testing on their engines, along with Castrol Motor Oils, to determine the proper spec motor oils for their engines. And as to the comment that changing to a heavier 30 or 40 wt. oil will be better for emissions. that's also incorrect. JLR actually changed the oil specification for the later AJ133 engine from 5W-20 Full Synthetic to 0W-20 Full Synthetic for emissions and to increase gas mileage. Remember that the beginning number of an oil spec. (in this case the 5) represents the heaviness/thickness or ability for the engine oil to flow when the engine is cold, in its operating environment. And the last number is the heaviness/thickness of the oil to flow when it's at operating temperature. If you change to a heavier weight motor oil, i.e. 5W-20 to 5w-40, the oil isn't going to flow as well at normal operating temperature, possibly starving critical engine components of needed lubrication. These precision mechined motors have very small and intricate oil passageways that can become blocked easily by the smallest particles of dirt and a heavier weight of oil will make that possibility even greater by not allowing the oil to flow more freely. And MOST IMPORTANTLY, the timing system if the AJ133 engine (which is prone to early break down due to a DEFECTIVE DRSIGN and FAULTY PARTS) is controlled and lubricated by the engine's oil. The VVT (variable valve timing) system will not function properly if the oil viscosity is changed to a heavier weight oil, thus causing engine timing issues and possible catastrophic engine damage. I own a 2012 full size Range Rover Autobiography with the Supercharged AJ133 engine that has 96K and it has the identifiable engine "rattle" and is throwing the usual engine codes, symbolizing a needed timing chain repair. I've been investigating the issue and been doing weeks of research as to why it happens, who's fault is it (Google: Land Rover timing chain class action lawsuit) and how to prevent it. Besides the 2 main faulty parts that were installed at production, the most important things are to do sooner oil changes (15K is a joke) and use the proper spec. oil. E'Nuff Said! I Hope all of my time & research can benefit all of you other GREAT Land Rover owners out there.

[@Rottweiler-Lover]

​@@franky6947 Higher temperature resistance??? WHO TAUGHT YOU THAT???

[@paulanderson79]

@@Rottweiler-Lover I've always wondered about the fascination for using oil that differs from manufacturer's specifications. My own car requires oil that meets either ACEA-C1 or JASO DL-1. These are both low SAPS oils and can only be found in either 0w30 or 5w30. It has never occurred to me to use anything else.

[@540iadicted]

Wow man this video's poppin! That's awesome that fresh oil helped so much. The factory JLR OCI is so ridiculously long to begin with, and it looks stretched well beyond that. The 20w just doesn't have the shear strength to have any substance left to it after such neglect. I switched mine to 5w30 but in your cold climate the 20w is probably fine, just stick to short term LOF's. I know the handy box of tools will come in for the timing job, but that's sweet that most of the resolution happened without even pulling an injector.

@@MrMit50101 actually, wouldnt the thinner oil (5w40) circulate more quickly than the thicker 10w40? Thus preventing additional wear on cold start as the 10w40 is thicker and takes a bit longer to travel due to increased viscosity?

@@dfweurocars agreed and so I also thought as the car requires 5w40 but then was made aware that as quick as the 5w moves up it also coats the parts but then wants to drop down equally as fast so takes a little longer to create a proper thick coating so I decided to try it and while my car c180 cgi would "grind" for roughly 20 seconds on start up previously which I was told is normal after putting 10w(9 months back) it's now down to definitely between 5 and 10 seconds and when warm sometimes there is no sound at all tested on our e200 cgi aswell did the service about 3 weeks back and its had the same effect I am also surprised even the Castrol website says 5w is correct for the car same as obviously Mercedes but going forward I will be running 10w I can see the difference the chain and guides were done on the cclass about a year and a half ago and there was visible wearing on the parts and I am very meticulous with oil services but always used the Mercedes oil now I use Castrol
