Hi,

First al have a beautiful, safe and healthy 2025.

Did any of you do a oil service on the gearbox?

I wanted to do a oil service on the ZF8HP45 gearbox in my

Disco 3.0 SCv6 3.0 Si (petrol)

The WM say, after topping up with the engine running and the

dripping out the level plug stopped, remove a 350ml of oil ????

then refit the plug. Job done.

Ive never heard of suck out a amount of oil, also not for the LR’s

with automatics, I had before .

Can you guys tell me …..have I reed the manual correct?

That's what I thought too.
Strange the WM for the 3.0 V6 says to do that????
Go to do it as I always do, like my 4.2 SC Range Rover.
Thanks!

 

Unless I misunderstand the vehicle model, that transmission is a ZF transmission.
The oil service for that ZF does not include any sucking out of transmission fluid.
And it does require monitoring the transmission temperature to be sure it is in a specific range when checking the fill level.
Specific instructions are included in this forum. Look for transmission fluid change.
Usually, this service includes replacing the transmission filter. The filter is included and pre installed within a new transmission pan.
The kit includes new fasteners also. And the replacement fluid should be ZF fluid for your specific transmission.

 

Gentlemen, I really don't want to be stubborn. I have never done it differently with my Disco3 and RR4.2SC. I completely agree with you. However, I came across this in the WM for a 2018 Disco5 3.0 petrol. Sooooo strange, could it just be a mistake in the WM?

 

I'm not sure what you're looking at.

if it helps, this is the correct procedure for ZF 8HP service

 

Yes I know about that video Adam5.
pic’s I showed are from the workshop manual for the Disco5 3.0V6
regards and have a nice weekend………

 

I must be lost. I've read the manual, no where in the transmission section does is say suck anything out.

 

Wel, thanks for the reactions guys.
I just was wondering this mistake in the WM.
let it go………..
have a nice weekend and regards Teip
