>plan to change the autobox fluid
Thanks, but can you tell me if it is "sealed for life" like the one on the X-Type. That annoys me so much, my Jaguar dealer refuses to change the AFT because of the factory "sealed for life" claim. A local transmission repair place where I've had trannys on other cars replace also was very coy when I asked if they would be willing to do a fluid change.

Jag dealers wont service it because they want to sell you a new trans

No when changing my oil I normally recycle the filter, I’m not saying neverchange the filter I’m saying if you know the mileage on it and have changed it before 100k and it’s a filter that’sgood for 100k per factory( a sealed unit )you can get away with maintaining the trans fluid changes regularly every 30k by flushing without having to change filter therefore not having any debris at all in the filter besides the fact that there only good down to 30 microns , also if you’re not flushing it you’re not completing the job if your just draining the fluid and pan and changing the filter in your garage like you probably are you are not completing the job.
