Do you change the filter as well as the oil?

Yes. The service is an oil and filter change, carried out in-house.

Will an oil change cure a gearbox fault?

An oil change is maintenance. It does not repair a fault, so if the gearbox is already showing a problem we test it first and tell you what we find.

Which cars does this service cover?

This page covers the automatic gearbox oil and filter change on Land Rover and Range Rover models. Different models and engines use different gearboxes, so we confirm which one your car has before we start. Put the registration in the enquiry form and we will check.

For other Land Rover and Range Rover work, see our Land Rover and Range Rover specialist page.

Does the gearbox oil need changing?

It depends on the gearbox and the car’s schedule. Send us the registration and mileage, and we will check the schedule for your car and tell you whether the oil change is due.

Which fluid goes in?

The fluid listed for your car’s gearbox. Different gearboxes take different fluids, so we confirm the gearbox first and use only the fluid listed for it.

What does the service involve?

We carry out the service in-house. We:

confirm which gearbox the car has
drain the old oil
change the filter
refill with the fluid listed for the gearbox
set the oil level by the procedure specified for that gearbox

After the service we check for leaks and road test the car where appropriate.

Do you change the transfer case and differential oils?

Yes. On four-wheel-drive models the transfer case and differentials have their own oil, separate from the gearbox. We change them in-house and can do them at the same visit when they are due.

What if the gearbox already has a fault?

An oil change is maintenance. It does not repair a fault the tests have found.

If the gearbox is showing a problem, we read the gearbox fault memory and road test the car before any work, then explain in writing what we found.

No work goes ahead until you give us your written approval.

Can it be done with a service?

Yes. If the engine service is also due, we can do both at the same visit. See our Land Rover servicing page.

How long does it take?

It depends on the gearbox and the car. You get a written price and a promised time for your next update before we start. If the car needs to stay with us, ask about a courtesy car when you book.
