my 2014 has 48k on it. I know there's some diff issues with the f-types but changing the fluid is not on the maintenance schedule at 48k. How often are people recommending to change these?

thanks!

 

I think the diff fluid is on the 7 year service, so you’ll be due soon. Some of the DIYers are doing it every 10k.
Not sure about the trans fluid.


Edit - 8 year service, not 7.

 

I've checked the service sheets for my MY18 and the transfer box fluid should be done every 3 years, the rear locking diff every 4 years. At 9 years the front diff and auto box fluid should done.

 

sounds good, thanks. I'm going to go ahead and do them both while I have it up on the racks. any tricks/nuances I should know about doing them on the f-type??

 

I put together 2 DIYs on this forum that may help you...

Good luck,

Taking mine in for next month for a supercharger snout, plus preventative stuff. Dealer is ok changing the diff fluid, but said they don’t normally touch the transmission unless it’s leaking. (65k miles, 7 years.)

 

ZF recommend the semi synthetic Lifeguard 8 fluid used in F Type auto transmission is changed after a maximum of 150,000 Km (93,000 miles) or in more severe duty (high loads and temperatures) 100,000 Km (60,000 miles)

 

ok cook, sounds like I can hold off on the Trans. Definitely get the diff done.

Thanks all - and damn, what a great DIY @Therock88 !!

 

Thanks. Hope it helps.
