2017 TDV6 ZF8 Transmission Fluid Change
I finally got to do the fluid change.
Level rig up. Ramps or jack stands.
Kit from FCP Euro. They shorted me 1 liter, didn't need but 5 anyway.
belly pan has 8 15mm bolts. I also loosened the 4 front belly pan bolts, because this pan slide under the front pan.
Belly pan removed, looks like original tranny pan.
8mm hex drain plug, passenger side.
Pan removed, and cleaned and ready for new one.
New pan installed. 8Nm torque, I'll post the torque pattern.
Magnet in old pan

Full instruction here. https://www.fcpeuro.com/blog/how-to-...d-transmission
My notes: I filled until drizzled out. Started truck, held brake, went through gears, R-N-D-S, it would only allow S1, S2, S3...........waited till temp reached 45C
With truck still running, pulled fill plug, finish topping it off.
shut it down, checked for leaks, performed reset:
0. Press "Start" button only. (ie: Do NOT start the engine.)
1. Press and hold gas pedal to floor for approx. 15secs.
2. Press "Start" button again.
3. Release gas pedal.
4. Wait approx. 2mins.; start engine and drive.
She is smooth as Butter!

I notice that you have Lucky8 rock sliders (as do I). The rock sliders can support the vehicle and I use my Hi-Lift jack with an adapter ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F4HX9FW...language=en_US) to lift either side of the vehicle. I'm thinking that jack stands positioned at the four corners of the rock sliders could support the vehicle with the wheels off the ground, which would facilitate cycling through the gears without having to apply the brakes after changing transmission fluid. Comments?
I thought about the four jack stands also. I was just not brave enough to try it.
If you try that method, let us know how it goes.
