In short, the oil capacity depends on the engine: about 7.5 to 8 quarts of engine oil are typically required for a full change, with slight variations between the two main 2017 Discovery powertrains.
In detail, the 2017 Land Rover Discovery (Discovery 5) offered at least two engine options, and each powertrain has its own oil capacity. The exact amount can vary depending on the engine design, whether the oil filter is replaced, and market-specific specifications. The figures below reflect common capacities used for standard oil changes with a new filter, but you should verify the exact specification for your vehicle using the owner's manual or a Land Rover service bulletin.
