My 2017 Discovery TD6 is at 72k miles and has only had regular oil/filter changes. I've just picked up my new Grenadier and going to be selling my discovery to my boss. I wanted to service the rest of the items on it before handing it off on him so I'm not giving him some sort of lemon. Has anyone here serviced their transmission yet? Did you just do a fluid drain and refill, I know that only does about 45% of the oil, or did you pull the pan and put a new filter on as well? I've done fluid drains and refills on other ZF transmissions but I've never pulled the pan. I'm aware you have to follow a pattern of resealing it but how difficult is the task of changing the filter as well?

Secondly what other fluids should I look at draining and replacing?

 

The new pan includes the filter. You would have to drop the pan to replace the filter as it's located inside.
I have paid to have this done on my BMW's ZF and they charge more than I think they should.
FCP Euro has a short step by step instruction on how to do this. I plan to do it myself in the spring.
It's not that hard.

 

Atlantic British has some useful tips, and service kits.

I got my kit from FCP Euro.

I plan on changing mine in the next week or two.

 

Please tell us how much fluid it takes including the second fill at temperature.

 

Will do.

 

@gmfain Are you going to document?

 

Yes I am.

Went on a ride Saturday, so didn't change it.

Rain is in the forecast for this Saturday. 😞

 

@gmfain ... Did you ever complete?

 

Sorry, I have not yet Life has been getting in the way.
