I am sure the workshop manual concludes the drain & fill with an additional 0.5L. Would one not repeat the procedure a few times with intervals of normal vehicle use? The old oil will be diluted in time with the new fluid. So long as the specification of the oils are compatible and the engine only runs with a full transmission, this should be adequate for a service. Landrover advises shifting through the gears only when the transmission is at 60C. Then check the level again with the engine running. Dropping and cleaning the oil pan might be worthwhile on a high mileage vehicle. I reckon a proper oil exchange - drawing or pumping atf into the transmission - is first prize. But, the workshop manual of the LR2 does not call for this when draining and refilling.
I found that I have the same gear box on my mondeo mk4 , thanks for the video. The mondeo videoes i have looked at is totally different and I might also get another oil as the one I have is spec Ford WSS-M2C924-A but maybe not if I am lucky. Thx
I would be worried you put 5 litres in after only taking 3 litres out. Assuming this is the first ever change of it one can assume level was correct on leaving Land Rover. So if you took 3litre out 3litre needs to go back in. Plus this box takes about 7 litres in total. Normally one gets about half out doing a drain such as yours which tallies approximately with getting 3 litres out. The rest is sitting in and around the torque converter. So what you did needs doing more than once to change the fluid properly. As you have done it you still have half the old oil in there. After repeating you will still have a quarter and so on. I normally do three cycles which means around 85% fluid is new which is good enough for me. As I said at the beginning I would be worried you took out 3litres and put back 5litres, something is or was not right. I would suggest it is not right now.
No issues, drives perfect. Even better than before. You would need to be crazy to only put back in what was taken out? I used the official method of refilling, so now I know it’s right. IMO.
@@Roverturbo I would not be so sure on that. Your temperature measurement seemed a bit hoit and miss. If you happy so be it but as I mentioned before myou still have lots of old fluid in there.
