Jaguar XF - Why Should I Get My Automatic Gearbox Serviced?

Рет қаралды 51,991

Күн бұрын

In this video JP shares how a garage would perform a full automatic gearbox flush & fluid exchange on a Jaguar XF. He shares the benefits of having your automatic gearbox serviced & shows the difference in gearbox fluid being removed and fresh gearbox fluid that is replacing it.
In this video JP used a ZF Automatic Gearbox Filter & Fluid Change Kit (LR007474ZFKIT) - rimmerbros.com/Item--i-LR0074...
This ZF Kit is suitable for vehicles fitted with 6HP26 or 6HP28 ZF 6 speed auto gearboxes.
This original ZF kit includes 7 Litres of Lifeguard Fluid 6, sump pan & filter, securing screws, sleeve, plug & installation instructions.
Degradation in oil can lead to judder, noise and a deterioration in gear change quality. It is recommended that oils and filters are changed after 50,000 to 75,000 miles on all 6 speed automatic gearboxes to ensure optimum performance.
For this particular video we opted to do a full gearbox fluid flush and exchange to replace as much fluid as possible from the gearbox, oil cooler & torque converter.
You can choose to carry out a standard drain & refill procedure at home by using a manually operated dispenser to assist the refill procedure.
The Oil & Automatic Transmission Fluid Dispenser below can be used to carry out a standard drain & refill as it comes complete with a range of adaptors with quick fix coupling:

I appreciate that this post is now pretty old however it does cover a very important topic which few JLR dealers seem interested in. Having asked the question “ when should my transmission oil be replaced” to various dealers most have no idea or have never had to do so. Answers I’ve had being it’s sealed for life or every 100,000 miles. It’s not even covered in my owner’s hand book.

Many thanks for your excellent, informative video. Since you guys have the proper machine to do a full gear oil change (not many places have this equipment, including Jaguar main dealer) do you offer this gear oil service to Jaguar owners ? and if you do what's the cost ?

@RimmerBrosTV 2 жыл бұрын

I’m afraid we only offer parts sales and no longer have the facilities to be working on customer cars or operating a full time garage. We can sell you the components to service the gearbox but cannot do it for you I’m afraid, you would be better suited finding a local Jaguar specialist to service your gearbox.

My XF 8 speed auto has done almost 190k, I brought it with 160k on it 5 years ago and I this hasn't been done (unless the 1st owner did and didn't keep a record). The gearbox is still very smooth though and no issues. I read the ecu adapts overtime to oil so you won't get issues until it's too late and it's better not to do this after too many miles as the ecu won't be able to adapt to the new oil. I wasn't sure if this was true or not, can you advise please?

@rickywalters3366 11 ай бұрын

Genuine question... Why would you run all of the old dirty oil though your new filter? There is a better sequence surely?

@RimmerBrosTV 10 ай бұрын

Hi there, the flow of the new oil pushes the dirty oil out into the flushing machine as it goes through the system. Therefore the dirty oil is flushed out before it goes back through the filter. Hope that makes sense.

When buying a used jag xx 3.0 v6 if this service hasn’t been done would you advice getting it done ect

@jaredshelton4718 2 жыл бұрын

Only if the vehicle has 50,000 miles or less. Preferably, this is a service you should do every 10-20k miles depending on your driving habits. If the vehicle is higher in mileage and you can't find any proof that the transmission fluid has been changed before then I wouldn't advise changing it. Doing so could cause slipping and or total transmission failure.

@RimmerBrosTV 2 жыл бұрын

It is recommended that oils and filters are changed after 50,000 - 75,000 miles to ensure optimum performance. However if you need further guidance we would recommend you seek advice from a local garage that specialises in Jaguar Land Rover vehicles. If you are close to Lincolnshire we have a Jaguar Specialist next door - www.lincs-jag-specialist.co.uk/ We hope that helps.

A vibration at speed can have a few causes but it is unlikely to be from old gearbox fluid. We would advise you to get this checked out from a local garage that deals with Jaguar Land Rover vehicles.

@danielgrahambalter Жыл бұрын

Not sure how many miles you have. I would also check the engine mounts. I recently had my engine mounts replaced and the difference has been very noticeable with regards to vibration. I had my transmission service with new fluid and filter as well. I haven’t heard this causing vibrations. I would recommend changing Transmission fluid, pan & filter at 60k miles.

@RimmerBrosTV Жыл бұрын

We see fluid changes as a preventative measure to ensure a longer life. It is entirely up to you, if it is running smoothly as it is you may wish to leave it until you start to notice changes in the performance of your gearbox such as harsher gear changes. Next time it has a service you could ask your garage about the gearbox fluid to see if they would recommend it based off any contaminants in the fluid.

@RimmerBrosTV Жыл бұрын

Hi Jaxxedup, Thank you for your question. It is suggested that the gearbox oil and filter be changed between 50,000 and 75,000 miles

@severnsea3924 Жыл бұрын

Always a contentious point this, but my understanding is that on the 6-speed box the recommended change is at 150,000 miles or 10 years for the US, but elsewhere, officially the manual says "sealed for life". I've never heard of a recommended gearbox oil change on any car of less than 100,000 miles.

@@RimmerBrosTV so if that’s the price for the flush, what’s the price just for an oil change changing one third of the oil

@RimmerBrosTV Жыл бұрын

@@KKTR3 Hi David, if you are just wanting to change the fluid yourself, you can do a simple drain, drop the sump, replace the sump and refill. This procedure will only replace the amount of fluid in your sump. All you would need to purchase for this is the fluid and the sump itself as it houses the filter.
