I just returned from a 2000+ mile road trip and now have over 50K miles on my V6 S AWD so it's time to change the transfer case fluid and I would like to change the transmission pan and fluid at the same time. Where's the best place to order an OEM (not aftermarket) pan and Life Guard 8 fluid in the US?

 

Look for posts by Therock88 he has a lot of excellent information about this and many other DIY projects.

 

Thanks, I do have his DIY write-ups, in fact, I used his instructions when I changed my rear diff fluid just before the trip. I'm just looking for a good, reliable source besides the dealer for genuine parts since there are a lot of counterfeits out there, especially on Amazon and Ebay. I thought there might be an online LR/Jaguar parts and accessories vendor that people recommend. If not, I'm sure I can at least find a reputable source for ZF parts/fluid since the transmission is used by so many manufacturers.

 

For the Transfer Case, I used 00004330563-MFG1199 Shell TF 0870 S-Tec spec. I got mine from RMEuropean.com but not sure they have it any longer? Search Google with that number/name and there are a variety of options. It is used in various other makes, like Porsche etc...

The ZF fluid ZF Lifeguard 8 for the Transmission, I ended up buying on eBay - Seller theimportexperts.(On eBay, just pick sellers with high ratings and you will be fine.) And the pan from RockAuto.com - Dorman 265853. Has replaceable filter for next time.

I get all my fluids from FCP Euro. Great to work with and have reliable stock.
