2000 Land Rover Range Rover — 4.6L

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2000 Range Rover 4.6L.

Engine 4.6LTransmission Automatic 4-spd

The 2000 Land Rover Range Rover 4.6L is a full-size luxury SUV powered by a 4.6-liter engine paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission, requiring 6.1 quarts of engine oil within the recommended 20W-40, 20W-50, or 15W-40 API viscosity grades, and achieving EPA fuel economy ratings of 11 city, 14 highway, and 12 combined mpg. With 26 total owner complaints recorded across its model history spanning 1990 to 2026, the 2000 model sits well below the peak of 127 complaints logged in 2003 and above the low of 6 in 1992, placing it among the more reliable iterations of this generation despite three documented recalls with the Power Train system emerging as the primary complaint area.

Fitment & sizes

Replacement part sizes and factory part numbers — battery, bulbs, filters and belts.

From the factory this vehicle uses a BCI 30H · 900 CCA battery, OE oil filter ERR3340. Note the factory thermostat is now discontinued — plan on a superseded or quality aftermarket equivalent, which the part pages below list where known. Each part links to every other vehicle that shares it, so a part you already stock may fit more of your fleet than you'd expect.

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 2000 Land Rover Range Rover recorded 26 complaints, 3 recalls, and 15 technical service bulletins (TSBs). This represents a slight decrease in complaints and recalls compared to the 1999 model, which saw 30 complaints and 5 recalls, and precedes a further drop to 7 complaints in 2001. In the broader context of this generation, the 2000 model falls within a period of relative stability before a dramatic surge in complaints and TSBs beginning in 2003. The primary complaint areas for the 2000 model were the Power Train (6) and Engine & Engine Cooling (5), though the data does not specify the root causes, and the record notes 4 fire and 2 crash complaints. Because it avoids the extreme volatility and high TSB counts seen in later years, this is a good year to buy.
