You put in what you want. I provided Mobile 1 for my Suburban when I did that car. If they won't do that then walk away.

Great stand to take if you are going to back it up, but I, like many others, have had to replace the trans long before it hit the 100 thousand mark (still not there) so reality, that statement of never having to change the fluid and sealed is something Jag could never now state they made a mistake. They would go out of business paying for all the trans replaced over the years because of really wrong set up they have now.

My question is did all the S types have the sealed system or did they ever put dipsticks in to check fluid levels on later models?

clubairth1 summmed it up with his official Jag flow chart of manually vacating then refilling... though not keen doing it twice?
