Hi Mate,

Russels automatics in ashmore down the gold coast service mine, they are recomended by Ricks 4x4 who is well respected around here and definatly has my trust.

they have done mine twice now and I trust them, they are honest and dont talk to you like your an idiot :D

Neil,

How often do you change your box oil? I was told by Bruce Davis ( similar to your guy there in Qld, trustworthy) that it should at 50k intervals. Cheers. Rob

RobCar has done over 200000 kays and to my knowledge has never been done.Has anyone had it done by british offroad?Been dealing with them for donkeys years but dont know how they are on these boxes.

Hi Rob,

50k sounds spot on, ive done 100k in mine since i bought it and have done it twice, both times oil was reasonably clean although peter at russels reckons do it every 30k now its over 200k
they only charge about $180 for an oil change and about $400 for a full flush.
I personally dont believe that flushing a worn box thats never had the oil changed does any harm, like some believe. how can changing the oil in anything be a bad thing? if, as some believe it dislodges debris in the cooler then the filter will pick it up,
If i had a box that had never been done but had done big klm then i would get it flushed and then do an oil change in the next 20k, what the oil is like and having a look in the sump will tell you how its going.

cheers

Mine has been done by Western Suburbs Automatics, they see a few X5s as well.

Have a chat to British Off Road, ask what fluid they recommend, you’ll soon find out how much they know about the boxes. I spoke to MR when I first got the car and they admitted mine would be the first L322 trans service they have done and they have plenty of fluid for the D3 box on hand – I went somewhere else.
