When is it necessary to change the gear box oil in my 2011 XF S  Portfolio that has logged 90,000 miles?

The car is running well in the 2 years I have owned it but the service record is incomplete.

Thanks

John

You should have it done, you’ll notice the difference.

Worth doing for peace of mind, if never done will be in a poor state now.

Hi John,

 

I've just had mine done by Hollygrove of Ringwood. My XF is a 3.0D 2010 with 85k on the clock. It cost about £375 plus labour, using Mahle products (as supplied to Jaguar).

 

After they'd completed the job we had a look at the magnets which are mounted on the old sump. I didn't have any visible debris or metal filings.

 

I've since cover 1000 miles and can feel a subtle improvement in gear changes and its quick reactions, especially when cold. It isn't earth shattering but then my Jag only goes on fast A & B roads and not into towns or city's (wife's Golf does all that stuff 😁)

 

The guidance I've seen is about 10years or 100k, so I would add it to your "to do" list.

 

 

 

 

I had mine changed at Gloucester Road Gearboxes, Bristol. They recommend that gearbox oil should be changed every 60,000 miles.

Thanks everyone for your responses. Much appreciated.

Kind regards

John
