Default how old is your ftype?

over 4 or 5 years ? you guys change the engine oil and at a push the transmission oil at 60k think about the supercharged oil it will be like dark brown sludge . like jaguar says about the transmission service sealed for death the supercharged oil needs changed every 50k or 5 year

Agreed. Its been proven, SC oil needs changing periodically. If you've been using the car HARD, more often.

Good point, I recall the discussion about that.

Mine is nearly 6.5 years old, 56k miles, now in storage for the winter.

Good point, mine is four years old, 46000 miles.

Was preparing to change ATF and transmission pan.

Am I the only owner who despairs at the modern trend to make services more expensive ?
U am referring to auto transmission filter being an integral part of transmission sump pan instead of replacement filter.
I am aware that an aftemarket pan is available with detachable oil filter

Will have to check out supercharger oil kit
