That is very very cheap!!!
Thanks Justin. Yes, I should have said that it's an 8spd.
Has anyone dealt with One Stop Gearbox Shop through ebay? They are quoting $559 for 8L of ZF Lifeguard 8 fluid, the ZF OE pan/filter, the 13 pan screws and drain plug delivered to Perth WA. That's virtually half the price I've been quoted to have it done locally and that was using liqui-moly ATF1800 not Lifeguard 8.
That is very very cheap!!!

Good find, but and it’s cheaper to buy direct from their normal website, ZF 8HP70 Automatic transmission gearbox filter fluid service kit with 8L of oil it’s only £19.99 postage to WA.
It should also only be £214.19 for the kit, plus £19.99 postage, as they don’t remove the 20% VAT at the checkout stage. Which gets it down to the $430 mark or $470 if the Australian 10% GST is added.

G'day all. I have just completed my first partial drain & fill of the ZF8 on my 2015 D4 following Robbie's excellent guide DISCO3.CO.UK - View topic - Robbie's Guide To ZF8 Auto Transmission Oil Change and have a couple of queries hopefully someone can assist with....
No real problems encountered with the actual drain and fill, apart from the time waiting for the fluid temperature to reach 69 deg c.
My questions relate to step 16 of the guide which states in part; "If you do have a diagnostic tool now is a good time to reset the gearbox adaptations."
How important is this step?
Can I do the reset using a Nanocom Evolution tool?
And if so can anyone give me a clue how to? I have searched this and the Nanocom forums without much luck.
Thanks in anticipation.
Cheers. Jock.

Personally I don't reset adaptions unless a rebuilt trans is being fitted. The box will relearn quickly with normal driving.

I am about to do a second partial flush of my 8 speed at 100k km. I have been provided with the following fluid:
"Auto Fluid, FEBI, ZF 8, 9 Speed Synthetic Fluid, Bilstein includes ATF supplement added to oil"
Has anyone anything to offer on this alternate to Lifeguard 8?
Am I being anal about not wanting to use it when it comes a well respected independent?
I have some Lifeguard 8 left over from my first partial flush & stood it next to the FEBI for comparison. The colour is similar but the smell is different.

Any thoughts anyone?

Hi All,
Has anyone priced a partial flush or full gearbox service from an indy in Brisbane?
Any indications on cost or recommendations on capable workshops would be appreciated, thanks!

Partial gearbox oil change today, as per Robbie's guide.
Done previously at 50,000 & 100,000 km (double flush at 100,000) this one was due at 150,000 but because of impending big trip with the van this change is at 141500, so a bit early.
Drained 4400g which is 5.5 lit if you use 800g/l or 5.2 @ 850g/l. My earlier post explains that comment.
A big thing from my experience is letting it drain overnight, it just seems to drip for quite a while so it gives the best partial drain outcome.
4550g back in, but a little more oil used overall accounting for a small bit of spillage. Had to again wait overnight to allow the oil to cool down to do the final level check.
The oil that came out was dark, but not as dark as previously ( I have a sample of all of the drains) and no discernible differentiation in odour when compared to the new oil, so that pleased me.
All in all a simple enough process for the DIY

For a change to the Penrite ATF BMV from Lifeguard 8 in my 8 speed D4 how should I go about it given my driveway drain and fill will only change a portion of the total fluid.
Several changes in quick succession I would have thought to avoid running the mixed products too long.
Thanks
