Transmission Oil Change
Im confused on weather or not I should change the transmission oil in my 09 XF SC. I've read on the forum where it's sealed for life and how there is no drain and fill holes at all, but that can't be possible. Won't the fluid turn dark and burnt? Or am I wrong? Pls help

Yes, it's all been covered many times over. There's several fluids that are equal to the original at a fraction of the cost, with much greater availability depending on your location. Most North American owners buy it at a local Ford dealer.

Nice to know. Just read through the F Type blown engine post and will be checking my oil level weekly from now on !!! What transmission do I have on my XF? I know its is still a ZF, but the 8-speed version. Can someoone provide a link to the threads that explain the how-to part? I was just looked at my service manual and didn't see trasnmission service in there at all. Is this a waranty service item or will it be out-of-poket? nothwere near the 75k miles yet, but she is tuned and I drive her hard.

I dunno how or why it is different to the Lifeguard 6, but apparently it is.
Not a warranty or service item.

It's the same procedure on your 8 speed ZF

If things happen a bit like they did with the ZF6 (6HP26), Jaguar will add oil etc change info to TOPIx but may never add it to the service/maintenance sheet. (Pretty clueless, but hey.)
I found this about 8 years ago (for the 6HP26). Details of when to change on TOPIx, but nothing in the maint. sheets.
