There seems to be a step missing in this tutorial, raising the oil temperature to 70/80ºC so as the ATF cooler kicks in, thus the ATF flows through it, ensuring optimal level once the temperatures descends between 30ºC and 50ºC to check the level. It would be very appreciated Febi's feddback on this. Thanks.
Thank you for watching our video. In keeping with the vehicle manufactures workshop manual on this procedure. We followed the following process. If the transmission oil temperature is lower than 30°C (86°F). Allow the transmission to warm up above 30°C (86°F) with the engine idling in the (P) position, then proceed with the transmission fluid level check. If the transmission oil temperature is above 50°C (122°F), switch off the engine and allow the transmission to cool down. Therefore, no steps were missing. However, once a transmission oil replacement has been carried out, there is no reason why after this process has been carried out, to go though it again after a thorough road test. Letting the car to cool down, just to make sure the level is perfect.
Thank you for watching our video. The sump pan has an integrated filter. Therefore, it is best practice to replace both the transmission oil and filter when servicing this transmission.
Thank you for watching our video. The vehicle manufacture lists this transmission as a filled for life. However, the transmission manufacture states. Depending on the driving style, they recommend the transmission oil is changed every 50,000 miles (80,000 km) to 75,000 miles (120,000 km) or after eight years at the latest.
Thank you for an easy understandable diy video

Very clear instructions
Thank you for watching our video and positive comments.
If the megatronics harness is disconnected, does the transmission need a relearning process?
When checking oil level, is the engine running?
Thank you for watching our video. Yes, to check the oil level it is with the engine running as per the procedure followed in the video.
Is there no gasket or sealant on the new sump pan?
the gasket is already pre mounted on the new sump pan. :)
Why do you have to replace the whole sump pan and not just the oil? Is it because of that integrated filter?
Thank you for watching our video. The sump pan has an integrated filter. Therefore, it is best practice to replace both the transmission oil and filter when servicing this transmission.
Is the engine or this a v6 3.0 supercharged
Thank you for watching our video. The model used in this video is a 3.0 V6 Diesel XF S.
What is the service interval for this transmission?
