This was a fun read. 
Anyone have insight on the 8 speed tranny in the XFR? I think it's the 8HP70. Would be nice if it were the 75 tho...
This might just turn into something I pay a shop to do...and not Jag for sure.

The most common cause of transmission failure is contamination. Sealed transmissions make perfect sense.
Engines create dirt and need oil changes. Transmissions, especially automatics, require no servicing or oil changes. The torque converter is the only source of oil degradation and in the ZF the torque converter is locked out 90% of the time.

Forget the facebook crap. This forum has more knowledgeable Jaguar owners and factory techs than anywhere else.
I find no problems with the CTSC website?
They still have the oil change kits just like always? What problems did you have?

I called all dealers in the lower mainland and nobody knows at what mark (Km) the transmission fluid has to be changed but the Richmond, bc Dealer, Reading from a service manual, that seems nobody else has, the advisor said that My Jaguar's XF 35T 2016 transmission fluid has to be changed at 200,000 Km or 10 years.

Dozens if not hundreds of threads on this.
I would completely forget Jaguar's "Lifetime" fluid recommendation in the owners manuals. ZF recommends fluid changes at around 80KM. They manufactured the transmission for Jaguar.
This list has convinced me that somewhere around 50K-60K miles I will do a fluid change.
Your car, your decision. I have already made mine.
