Land Rover Range Rover Sport Engine Oil Capacity Calculator
Complete technical guide with detailed specifications, capacity calculations, and maintenance recommendations for all Range Rover Sport generations (2005-Present).
Oil Capacity Calculator
Use this interactive calculator to determine the exact engine oil capacity for your specific Land Rover Range Rover Sport model. The calculator accounts for model generation, engine type, production year, and oil specifications to provide accurate results.
Vehicle Specifications
Select the platform code that corresponds to your vehicle’s generation. The L320 is the original model, L494 represents the major redesign, and L461 is the latest generation.
Choose your specific engine configuration. Engine displacement affects oil capacity significantly, with V8 engines typically requiring more oil than V6 or 4-cylinder engines.
Select your vehicle’s production year. Oil capacities can vary slightly between model years due to engineering revisions and component updates.
Select the oil viscosity recommended for your engine. Modern Land Rover engines require specific oil formulations that meet JLR.03.5006 or later specifications.
Calculated Oil Capacity
Approximate total engine oil capacity including filter replacement
Important Note: This calculator provides approximate values for informational purposes. Always consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual for exact specifications. Add approximately 0.5-1.0 quarts less initially, then check the dipstick and top up as needed to reach the proper level.
Complete Oil Capacity Specifications

| L494 (2nd Gen) | 2014-2021 | 5.0L V8 Supercharged | 7.4 | 7.00 | 0W-20 |
| L494 (2nd Gen) | 2016-2021 | 3.0L V6 Turbo Diesel | 7.8 | 7.38 | 5W-30 |
| L461 (3rd Gen) | 2022-Present | 3.0L V6 Mild Hybrid | 6.9 | 6.53 | 0W-20 |
| L461 (3rd Gen) | 2023-Present | 4.4L V8 Twin-Turbo | 7.8 | 7.38 | 0W-30 |
| L461 (3rd Gen) | 2022-Present | P400e PHEV | 6.3 | 5.96 | 0W-20 |
Table Interpretation Notes
• All capacities include filter replacement
• Diesel engines typically require more oil than gasoline equivalents
• Newer models use lower viscosity oils for improved fuel economy
• PHEV models have reduced capacity due to smaller engine size
Measurement Standards
• 1 U.S. quart = 0.946353 liters
• 1 liter = 1.05669 U.S. quarts
• Factory specifications may vary ±0.2 quarts
• Always use dipstick for final verification
