Thread: Renewing ATF filter

That what these are for,,
these exchange all the fluid


Brown is ok, burnt smell is bad,
just do your change twice more and its all good(same new filter and gasket).
Blknight wrote the new/old fluid percentage, after three changes, on site some where

You beaut machine - I'll whizz out and get one. Not.

Gets expensive on fluid to keep adding fresh and dumping it till runs clean. Was wondering if I could drain sump, put plug back, startup, turn off, drain sump, and do that a few times until no more fluid drains into the sump. Would save successively diluting the bad stuff and using heaps of fluid. Or would the transmission react badly to being empty? From what I've picked up on the forum it's not unusual for Discos to dump all the fluid on the road when a swage pops but all is well after the repair.....
Clean the old filter or trash it?
Thanks for your help!

No do not do that you will stuff your trans

Thanks Stevo. Taken on board.

they dont dump all the oil, just whats in the pan.

the reason you have to do the rinse and repeat thing for the fluid change is the torque converter holds a not insignificant amount of fluid.

if you've done the drain top up thing without checking the final level with the engine running then your oil level is low, dont go driving off road at harsh angles.

change the filter, section the old one to look for metallics and friction material.

if you're using a haynes manual for much other than a coaster or a clean spot to put your coffee cup then you're probably getting something wrong. grab a copy of the rave.

Thanks Dave. I did the job by the book and I'm going to dump another 4 litres and put fresh in just to make sure that what remains of the old stuff is well diluted. Point taken about Haynes. I have the

Discovery Series II WORKSHOP MANUAL - 1999MY ON
Publication Part No. VDR 100330 NAS (6) ? Land Rover 2003

which I believe is RAVE, yes? I find the paper book a useful reference when I'm working on the car, don't have the computer handy. Tablet perhaps? Oops - dropped a spanner on it.........

Will have a look inside the filter. The magnet was just a bit slimy, no bits. I've heard of the trans giving trouble after an oil change. Hope not. Is there any way of adjusting the speed at which 3rd and 4th lock up? Ours locks at just over 80 and unlocks just under. My owners manual says 72kmp which I would prefer, I think. Thanks,
Pete

thats the rave,

no need for anything fancy, find the job you want to do and send the relevent pages to the printer, if you do them often screen shot them or book mark them even laminate the pages. or read the steps you need, write down the notes for the torque settings and then do what you need, rinse and repeat. A chinagraph pencil and the windshield are your friend.


if thats 80 indicated your probably only doing 70ish anyway.

and yes, if the box has been abused and is about to give trouble replacing the oil with fresh stuff restores the lubricity of the oil if the friction material and clutch packs were only just hanging on with the old oil the new stuff will make them slip.

You can take the fitting off the oil cooler, on the return path. I think, but am not sure, that is the passenger side, and run the car for 30 secs to empty out old, then fill up, repeat until nice oil comes out. But with the filling method on the d2 its a bugger.
