This guide covers the full service schedule, warranty terms, and what to expect from ownership at Land Rover Clear Lake in Friendswood.
The 2026 Discovery uses Land Rover Flexible Service, a system that calculates service intervals based on how you drive.

Engine oil and filter change using Castrol EDGE Professional full synthetic, the oil Land Rover recommends for this engine
Tire rotation to promote even wear across all four tires
