Range Rover Evoque Automatic Transmission Fluid Change

Range Rover Evoque Transmission Oil Change

[@zakindi]

The step in this procedure that has been missed is that once topped up you need to run the engine and select neutral with park brake on. The fluid level will drop and you can then pump another 0.8 Litres into the transmission before it starts to seep out again. Just pump until full then screw the hex head screw back in.

[@aquaredable]

Thanks, will give it a go next time.

[@peteloganirish7886]

Zakindi the old oil mixed the the new ok Or do you need to do another complete drain

[@zakindi]

@peteloganirish7886 I am not an expert, only someone who has done the procedure on my own car. Repeat 3 times to get much cleaner new fluid with minimal old fluid left. But even just doing the procedure once will have a good benefit.

[@aquaredable]

Redid the oil and yes, it took an extra litre, thanks for the heads up.

[@zakindi]

@aquaredable it was your video in the first place that gave me the confidence to actually carry out this procedure, so thank you. Very helpful, and I'm glad I could add my bit

[@martingriffiths9851]

Just a short note to say thankyou for making this video. It gave me the courage to perform this maintenance task myself, instead of lining the dealer's pocket (they wanted 850€ to do this!). The most difficult step for me, was getting the filling port bolt out, it was a little fiddley. Other than that, everything went as per your vid ! Many thanks.

[@aquaredable]

Wonderful news, the dealers charge so much and I often wonder if they actually did the work, cheers

[@martingriffiths9851]

@@aquaredable As you recommended, I now do a 50% replacement every year and the gear change remains as smooth as when I bought the car, new.

[@alexg8460]

Thought I would come back and say thankyou! So what I had was a small nudge on 3rd gear clunk kind of and slow gear changing also. So I did some reaserch decided to use Liqui Molly Tek 1800 used in jaguars bmws and landrovers is what I read in the forums. Also their was another oil that was more pricey but guys said this one was also excellent for the ZF8 speed tranny . I have 2015 disco sport. I DOnT have the 6 speed Asian tranny. Drained from the bottom plus where you mentioned and then closed that and opened the top bolt to add the oil. I did remover front tire and lowered my Jack to level the car out without the wheel. The Liquid Molly oil jugs came with a straw you pop out and just squeeze it into the whole very conviniént! As I approached to empty the 3rd liter oil started coming out. In forum I read to start the engine and place the car in Neutral while engine is running and press emergency brake also just in case. This lowered the oil level and I was able to ad another 1/2 liter so about 3 1/2 liters went in I quickly put the bolt in and shut car off. Came back tightened up no to much and put everything back and test drive. Absolute night and day difference ! Can’t believe I didn’t do this sooner! I have 101k on the dash and bought car with 60k. Not sure if this service was done but oil came out dirty brown! Car shifts super smooth now thankyou so much! Only video I found that explained my ZF8 Transmisión on my disco sport ! ❤

[@S900S90]

I also have a Land Rover Discovery Sport 2015 model year 150 HP 9 speed ZF automatic transmission. I sometimes feel that the transmission is not shifting so well and that certain things are hitting it. What do you think if I get an oil change done too, will it be fixed? I have 196,000 km on the clock now and no oil change has been done yet, I assume. which gear oil would you recommend to me which oil should I buy can you please tell me the exact name or the link

[@nothhb3432]

thanks for posting it. i used the same method but i lowered my car to the even level before putting the filler cap to ensure the correct level of oil.

[@aquaredable]

Nice work!, I used a spirit level for the next change.

[@TonytheYorkie]

I was thinking of doing this to my 2016 RR Evoque but had no idea where to start! Thank you so much!!

[@aquaredable]

Glad I could help! Have a look at this web site to select your oil. www.penriteoil.com.au/product-selector#/

[@joftferny8844]

I had a quick question. my mothers 2015 evoke started almost whining in the Transmission and doesn't want to really get down and go. any idea on why this is happening ?? I don't know much about these cars. in other words nothing LOL. great video tho 😊

[@CACTUS48]

Hi, ordered the Tom Thumb pump bottle on ebay from AU, may take awhile to get to Pennsylvania USA. The Tom Thumb pump bottles came from 4WD Industries AU in about 10 days, Thanks...

[@aquaredable]

I have two, one for Differential oils, and the second for the transmission oil, works a treat

[@ainsley7662]

Nice and clear, good job

[@aquaredable]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@shanefrank3281]

How much fluid did you get to drain out? Many people have told me they only get 2L out, but a few have said they get 4L to drain. If it is 4L then 2 changes replaces about 85% of the fluid. If it is only 2L that drains out then only about 52% is replaced with 2 changes and only 67% with 3 changes.

[@shanefrank3281]

Just in case anyone else is wondering, I got somewhere between 3.1 and 3.2L to drain out. When putting it back in it would only take about 1.9L before it started running out the fill hole. I think you have to cycle through the gears and then it will take about a liter more.

[@chamtadsian7382]

So there are still a few litres of old fluid in the box, i use to drain mine from the return hose to the box to at least drain as much from the converter cheers

[@aquaredable]

thats a good way to do it, what i do is change in six months and thus try and mix and get it all over time

[@bradleyw6970]

Now all we need is a diff oil change front and rear, thanks for insight.

[@13salinaspride]

Question for you, I have a 2012 rover evoque, when I shift from reverse to drive the car jolts, sometimes a hard jolt, could that be because of low or bad transmission fluid?

[@peoples2197]

by any chance is it the same procedure for 2016 discovery sport?

[@arfearless2160]

Yeah I was also curious …by the way the discovery sport 2016 D 180 PK has a 9 speed transmission gearbox. Which transmission oil do I have to put in?

[@kalabachetogo]

Merci 🙏 beaucoup grâce cette vidéo j’ai pu changer l’huile de la boîte de ma voiture à 147.000km au départ je voulais faire le vidange de ma voiture et je me suis tropé 😅 et j’ai vidé l’huile de boîte à vitesse à la place de l’huile à moteur et j’ai encore ajouté 6 litre le moteur étais plein heureusement j’ai pas roulé la voiture j ai juste déplacé mais après avoir regardé cette vidéo je me suis rendu compte que cetais pas le bon 😅

[@CACTUS48]

So you said you have changed the Rear-Axle oil, have you done a video on it, I was looking at the Work-Manual PDF that I downloaded, the capacity is 3/4 Qt, I see the Fill Plug, the Work-Manual talks about there 'No provision is made to fully drain the rear differential during repair procedures', then again it show the Rear drive axle/differential fluid drain plug 26, Rear drive axle/differential fluid filler plug 26 torque ft lbs settings...

[@aquaredable]

I will review and get back to you

[@kirkcabahug5290]

I have a 2012 range rover evoque. Should i also change the filter and where do i find it? It kinda looks different than other cars with transmission oil pan so i dont know where to find the filter. Transmission fluid and filter havent been changed ever since it was bought

[@aquaredable]

change the fluids at least twice over a period of months before filiters, in order to get all the fluid out from the torque convertor as when you drain the unit, it retains a litre or two that will mix in with the new.

[@Btstaz]

What year model is this Evoque? Thanks and great video

[@aquaredable]

Hi, 2017 HSE dynamic tdi

[@deiangonzales8406]

so this is the ZF 9 spd trans?@@aquaredable

[@bigdudetv7115]

Hi! I'm little worried because i changed G/Box oil on my Evoque last week, but i managed to pour 7 litres before the oil start sipping out of the plug. Is 7L overfilling & if so...what's the danger of overfilling my transmission?

[@aquaredable]

Hi, was your car level when you serviced it.?

[@bigdudetv7115]

​@@aquaredable Sorry to respond very late, my phone had a problem. Anyway...No, the car wasn't on level ground. I ,slightly, Jack up the car just enough to remove the left front wheel. We didn't use the hydraulic vehicle lifts like the ones in the car workshops.😂😂😂

[@sunilgubbala]

Hi Andrew, thanks for your video tutorial. I planned to change the atf oil yesterday and drained out on my 2012 evoque. Now I am having trouble to find fill plug to put new oil. Can you please let me know where exactly is it located . I am in Australia and its a right hand drive

[@aquaredable]

Hi, if you take the front left wheel off you will see the indented alan key socket.

[@sunilgubbala]

@@aquaredable thank you ..will remove the left side wheel..as I believe it should be close to that

[@denselvq]

So i did read that it takes a bit of fluid, when i drained the trans it didnt seem like 6 litres and refilling didnt take 6 litres, do i have to prime the converter somehow ? sorta worried that there is not enough fluid inside now

[@CRIZZY131]

And what about the gear box filter ?

[@adrianjimenez3614]

I was thinking that but the landrover dealer told me the gearbox has to be taken apart to get to the filter, I'll stick with just changing the fluid regularly

[@akudulubudakgagal1359]

Hye sir, may I know how many litres they need for change?

[@markmoore6264]

Very useful video , what sort of job is it to change the gearbox filter ?

[@aquaredable]

Not sure, its on my list to do

[@CCROSS5882]

why are there so many Videos saying not good to change transmission fluid and life time fluid, yet we know fluid breaks down as you see in your video it is pretty dark, just changed a bad solenoid c in my range rover L322 now i have no reverse

[@DM219music]

Do you need to change the filter?? Btw great video, your also the only transmission change video on yt. you'll have to a diff oil one as well!

[@aquaredable]

Thanks for the tip

[@aquaredable]

Didnt replace the filter at this stage, just the oil based on the transmission being so young, will do it down the track sometime

[@ashfaq958]

Sir how kilometer need chenge gear oil

[@criswsky54]

Hi I’m just interested where this gearbox have oil filter, I’m done vw/Audi the have filters some easy some harder to replace

[@AJ-sx2jb]

Thanks for posting this! Just wondering if you also need to think about transmission temperature? Are you at risk of overfilling if the oil is cold?

[@ainsley7662]

Transmission temperature is more for the straw method where the exact amount of fluid is hard to confirm and the overflow method is used but for this, I believe, is fine as if on a flat surface, it dribbles out to confirm levels

[@leetaylor1300]

What if you used a fluid extractor and a transfer pump? Might be able to avoid taking the wheel off.

[@aquaredable]

Maybe but its so easy just to take the wheel of and replace the fluid using the overfill method to confirm when full.

[@teabag3339]

What!! 2 minutes t take the wheel off.

[@kellymaggs7807]

Is this the same on a 2015 ?

[@amrosaleh271]

how many liters of oil does the gearbox takes?

[@ravenbonanza1522]

9:26 You need a wheel alignment. Tread on the outer side is almost gone compared to inner tread. Also, I thought ZF auto trans are sealed for life. I have a 2018 Jaguar XF 25T & it has a ZF auto trans

[@aquaredable]

Your spot on, did that and finaly put new tyres on.

[@biz4twobiz463]

sealed for life is a term to sell the vehicle. It's really best to replace the fluid every 40 or 50,000 miles to be safe...for normal driving. Extreme driving conditions might require every 30k.

[@jamessiu2646]

It’s a great video. May I ask how much fluid it needs?

[@stevenjoseph5736]

He said it in the vid, 2-3 litres at a time, basically like alot of vehicles out there.

[@aquaredable]

Keep pumping until the fluid starts to dribble out of the fill plug, then its done, nice and easy, took around three litres if i recall correctly

[@bashjibrilla4180]

my 2013 range rovter evoque 2.0 rear axle is faulty but i couldn't get some to buy from my end here in west africa so i wonder if there any ford axle can fit mine. please help me

[@aquaredable]

Would have to check with the wreckers here, can do but it would be so expensive to ship to Namibia and not forgetting taxes, very gougy going that direction.

[@jamesbissonette]

whats the service interval for oil change?

[@aquaredable]

I do it about every 10000km or so

Great tutorial. Thank you.

[@mariohenrique2928]

Ótimo vídeo 👏🏽👏🏽

[@teabag3339]

I notice that you refilled the transmission unit with the car jacked up only on one side, would it not be better to have the vehicle level to ensure the correct fluid level is reached?

[@aquaredable]

Hi, you are correct. Make sure you are level.

[@giss4640]

Hello Andre, the automatic transmission is ZF 9 speed ?? Or 6 speed ?? Than’ks you ( im french excuse me my english is bas)..

[@aquaredable]

Jimmy, 9 speed

[@StevenReid-l6c]

Hello, just wanted to say, this is not correct way to change automatic evouqe gearbox fluid, as I found out the hard way after following this, now I need a gearbox. This doesn’t mention and having your gearbox fluid at45degree temperature and the fact it needs complete slowly and using a computer to check levels and how you need to run the engine and go through gears midway. A professional mechanic told me that video is not correct. Do not follow this.

[@CACTUS48]

Hi, just bought a 2017 RRV, 34K miles, downloaded the work manual PDF Zip file, going to change the engine oil/filter - Mobil-1 Extended performance 5W-30, GM PF-53 Oil Filter, Trans oil - DEXRON-VI Automatic Transmission Fluid, the work manual indicates the trans fluid is lifetime, I think it is best to change it, Rear differential oil - the work manual indicates capacity is 3/4 qt. Castrol Axle EPX 80W-90, I will use GM Axle Lubricant, Synthetic, 75W90. Elbert Bernstein Pennsylvania USA

[@aquaredable]

The manufacturer claims lifetime but their interpretation of lifetime is the warranty period only so best change all fluids, I used the Penrite oils page to find the right oils, penriteoil.com.au/

Go for it!, very straight forward, no fiddling, do this yearly and enjoy

[@Vlad-Alexandru.Burcezan]

nice job mate!!!! you are actualy telling people how to distroy 9 Speed ZF transmissions 😅😅😅 1st. you can only drain a maximum amount of 3.1 L out of that transmission, the rest will remain inside torque converter. 2nd that is the wrong oil spec for that transmission 😅😅😅

[@aquaredable]

Not at all, the transmission fluid is recommended and the torque convertor fluid mixes with the new and gets refreshed over the coming services, no problems with the transmission so far, noting Landrover / Rangerover reliability issues are more of a concern than this job, nervous types like you should stick with the dealer, after all, they use qualified mechanics, riiiiiight!

[@Vlad-Alexandru.Burcezan]

@@aquaredable I am actualy a former JLR engineer and a ZF engineer. Changing this ZF tramsmission oil if you not tow with the vehicle is a lost of money. Changing transmission oil and not performimg adaption reset + adaption drive will also not complete the work. I also agree with you for the dealer part 😅

[@tinyboots22]

Seems like a nice guy, but this is not how you change your trans fluid ... you need to use the correct fluid, car needs to be at temp, run through gears and check with a scan tool... and most of all it needs to level. Don't change the fluid in these ZF transmissions unless you have to..

"Liferime"! That is a mythe, the lifetime duration only applies to manual gearboxes.
