2013 Land Rover LR2

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2013 LR2.

Body SUVTransmission Automatic (S6)

The 2013 Land Rover LR2 is an SUV equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission and an engine requiring 5.9 quarts of 5W-30 oil, returning an EPA-estimated 17 city and 24 highway mpg. With 12 total owner complaints predominantly focused on the power train and a single recall, the 2013 model occupies a relatively favorable position in the LR2's 2008-2015 reliability history. Although it doesn't match the model's lowest complaint year of 2012, which saw just 6 complaints, it represents a substantially more stable choice than the 85-complaint inaugural 2008 model.

Service quick specs OEM factory data

Capacities, torques and tune-up values from the factory service manual.

This engine holds 5.9 qt of 5W-30 engine oil, 80W-90 in the differential, DOT 4 brake fluid. Torque lug nuts to 98 ft-lbs, the oil drain plug to 28.0 ft-lbs. The firing order is 1-3-4-2. Note the cylinder-head bolts finish on a torque angle (torque-to-yield) — they stretch permanently and should be replaced, not reused, during any head service.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 10,000 mi; spark plugs at 110,000 mi; coolant every 10,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 10,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2013 Land Rover LR2 lands in the latter half of a generation that saw owner complaints plummet from 85 filings in 2008 to just six by 2012, though 2013 ticked upward to 12 complaints while carrying only one recall. Where this year distinctly departs from its adjacent model years is in technical service bulletins, which surged to 286 in 2013 compared with 179 in 2012 and 199 in 2014, implying a sharp increase in factory-issued repair guidance that the data does not attribute to any specific root cause. Federal records show zero crash and zero fire complaints for 2013, and the top complaint categories—powertrain and airbags, each cited twice—are too diffuse to signal a single systemic failure mode. Set against the broader arc of declining complaints and stable recall activity, 2013 is an outlier for service-bulletin volume rather than a regression in reliability. Buyers could do worse than this model year given its low safety-related complaints and generational improvements, but it is not the cleanest choice in the range; insist on documentation that prior TSBs have been addressed before purchasing.
