2014 Land Rover Range Rover Sport

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2014 Range Rover Sport.

Body SUV

The 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Sport is an SUV requiring 8.5 qt of 5W-20 engine oil, establishing a clear baseline for engine maintenance. Ownership records for this model year indicate 11 recalls and 84 total owner complaints, with structure identified as the top complaint area. Within the broader model history covering 2005 to 2024, where complaint volumes ranged from a low of 10 in 2021 to a high of 82 in 2011, the 2014 variant's figures place it at the upper end of reliability data, signaling a priority for researchers assessing the model's history.

Service quick specs OEM factory data

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

This engine holds 8.5 qt of 5W-20 engine oil, USE CASTROL SAF CARBON MOD + in the differential, DOT 4 brake fluid. Torque lug nuts to 98 ft-lbs, the oil drain plug to 18.0 ft-lbs. The firing order is 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8. 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 spark plugs at 112,000 mi; coolant at 160,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 160,000 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 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Sport marks a clear inflection point in its generation’s federal record: complaints (59) and recalls (7) remain elevated compared to the 2009–2012 period but are consistent with 2013, while investigations (4) peak—exceeding all prior and subsequent years. This suggests unresolved systemic issues emerging in the final years of the first generation, with 2014 falling squarely in that high-risk arc. Complaint trends reveal persistent concerns in structure (8), air bags (7), and engine (6), mirroring broader reliability patterns for the model line. The absence of fire-related complaints and minimal crash reports (1) offers limited reassurance, given the broader recall and TSB volume (1,315 in 2013, though data for 2014 is absent). **Takeaway: The 2014 is a suboptimal year to buy**, as it reflects the culmination of first-generation flaws without the benefit of later refinements or reduced federal scrutiny.
