5HP24 Durability

The 5HP24 is a high quality unit that will last as well or better than most. Changing the oil and filter at 60K is a must as far as I'm concerned but other than that, normal driving should generally result in a life of over 150K miles on average. This is just an observation of the forums over the years. Keep in mind that when you see things on the forum, you see the problems. All the ones that are working a long time do not appear here.
I am currently having the oil and filter changed in my 50Kmiles XKR with the 6HP26 just to be sure it's going to last as long as possible. A $5K-$6K rebuild is not my cup of tea. With the advent of the CTSC selling ZF oil and ZF filters for reasonable prices, there is no excuse not to change it. A change runs $400 with labor and this is cheap insurance.
