Yes, the car was level. I worked my way through the gears while waiting for the temp to get to 60C. And that is the reason why I now simply measure how much drained and replace same amount (at same temperature).

Have just done mine for the second time at 88,850 miles. Just one drain & refill. This time using Smith & Allan 3309. Did it on my driveway, which has a slight slope. Just ran the front wheels half way up a pair of ramps until level. Plenty of space to drop the engine cover plate and get at the drain plugs.

Yes, that would be a good prophylactic procedure for your transmission. If the fluid has never been changed, do measure exactly (don't just eyeball it) how much fluid is drained. I have a sneaky suspicion that we're putting back less than comes out.

NO NO NO. The guy in film wants to convince us that the oil level is important and then has the front wheels on ramps and the back wheels on floor Make sure your car is level Arese. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years FL2 MY13 TD4 GS Current |

And I'm guessing more ATF would have drained had the vehicle been level. MY10 TD4 SE Auto |

Just going through the equivalent topic on the Russian LR forum and most people reporting draining and putting back just under 4L of ATF per change.

Does anyone know the part number for the integrated level plug (or entire drain plug set)?
