70 - 100k

I quick search of the Landrover forums and people that service them don’t let it go far.

I had a Territory with the 6 speed ZF in it that did 80% of its work towing a 2+ tonne van. I changed the transmission oil and filter every 100000 km, not draining the torque converter, but just dropping the pan. I replaced the original plastic pan with a pressed steel one from Motospecs in Melbourne. I only used the ZF Lifeguard fluid and when I sold it with 230000 km on the clock it was still operating faultlessly.
I plan to do the same with my, MY14 WK2 diesel and hopefully will end up with the same trouble free run. I am looking at the new oils that are supposed to be equal to the ZF Lifeguard but have yet to decide, as my unit has only 80000 km on the clock, so still 12 months before I do it.

Yeah I'd reckon I'll be changing the oil complete at 80k and will be draining the TC unless the oil I'm putting back in is exactly the same. I would not be mixing oils no matter the spec stated on the bottle.

Hi Folks,

I ended up doing a rear LH bearing so it had to go to the workshop so I got the trans pan swapped and Penrite oil put in as well at the same time.

I would not recommend the the Ryco trans pan as it only has 2 magnets and the ones you can get on EBay from Germany have 4 sets of magnets and they are the same price.

It’s is shifting a lot better is that because it’s new oil or because it’s Penrite, who knows.

I can say that I had the work done at Poly 4x4 in Huntingdale and I will be back for its service/coolant flush I was most impressed.

Just remember heat is the killer of ATF ,not necessarily klms travelled. Most good auto trans shops will say if you are towing change the fluid every 30-40000 klms. An ATF change is a lot cheaper than a 6-8spd ZF box overhaul !! Just draining the transmission once will not replace all the old fluid. Drain/refill twice run trans between fills.

Yep, the servo near me has one of those machines they hook up to the oil cooler lines, I think, and flush the new oil in while running car. It replaces exactly what it takes out

Do you have a 5 Or 8 speed gearbox
