ATF Automatic Transmission Fluid Change Replace 01-09 Jaguar X-type "How to"

- Here I show the process of replacing your automatic transmission fluid in your Jaguar X-Type 2001 through 2009.
Fixbook DIY Car Repair
On the JF506E there is a fill tube that is used to check the level and add fluid. This can be accessed from underneath the Automatic Gearbox. This looks like a Hex Bolt, unless it has been replaced. It is important to get the fluid level correct. This is done with the Engine running. Just do a search on the JF506E Automatic Gearbox. A drain, measure and refill will only put the level of fluid back to the previous level. This Gearbox is used on many different Cars such as Landrover. If you go to a Gearbox specialist, I have no doubt that they will know that there is a fill tube. If you think about it, it makes sense that there needs to be a method of filling the Gearbox up to the recommended level. Please do you own research.
Great video and good pointers.
However, the 24 who didn’t like the video are the transmission techs who lost work due to the fact this DIY video saved time and money. As far as the transmission goes-“Sealed for life” sounds good when you’re looking to buy a vehicle so the hassle & expense of service is non existent.
I recommend doing a search for someone who has experienced same or similar issues and can provide the specs needed to safely service your vehicle on your own. 👍🏻
Slowing changing about a pans worth of trans fluid (3-4 quarts) took away the dreaded ZF 6 transmission "Lurch".
I'm on my 3rd drain the trans pan and refill and maybe after the 5th, I'll drop the pan and change to the new pan/filter (built in) and do the full trans oil change then. Some people recommend saving the oil oil to have as back up in case the new oil causes problems.
I started at Jag back in Jan of 2004. Back then you had warranty wars going on with each auto company trying to outdo each other in size and coverage. Remember how incredible Chryslers warranties were? I think it was part of the reason they went bankrupt.
Jaguar (under Ford control) advertised a lifetime transmission oil .A XJ, XK or S Type (with the same V8) held an unbelievable amount of transmission oil, something like 12-14+ quarts. The replacement oil was as high as $50-$70 per quart.
Without labor, you'd be dropping $700-$900 + just for magic transmission fluid, (what we called liquid gold).
The Master Techs were told not to change the fluid. There was no need. They weren't even being told the life time warranty was only for the life of the warranty. If a customer came in and wanted to pay the $1,200 (parts and labor) 80% of them were turned away, saying no need to change it. The ones that demanded to have it changed and signed a form saying they are changing against the recommendation of the dealership, and any damage that results is on them. That's what it took to have their oil changed.
Not knowing any better, I thought it was some kind of super advanced oil that had a oil breakdown heat unreachable for street driving. Nope! Auto companies idea of "Life Time" is very different from what we think "life time" means. I thought it meant the life of the engine. Nope. It meant the life time of the new car warranty. After that, auto company and the transmission company are though with you and tough shit if the trans goes bad.
It took years, but finally ZF admitted as long as you used a transmission oil with matching specs it was fine and that the trans oil should be changed every 40,000 miles (something like that...)
You can now go to pretty much any department store (Meijer, Walmart) or auto supply store (Pep Boys, O Rilly's, etc...) and buy a trans oil with the same specs for under $40 bucks if there's a sale going on. Quite a difference from what ZF was demanding that any car with a ZF trans use. I think ZF transmissions are the best in the world. They're tough enough to hold 550 hp, yet are smooth enough for a elderly person coming out of a Lincoln.
However, they make it very difficult to change the oil. On the ZF 6 the fill plug is on the side with only 2.5 " of room to get the bolt in and out. You have to drain, fill with engine off, then run the engine and go though the gears, they while the engines running, refill until a light (but steady) steam of oil comes out. Then you go for a drive, come back, lift the car again (making sure the trans pan is perfectly level) and check to see if there is a light ( but steady) stream of oil coming out. If not put more in until it does.
And they want you to do this in a 10 degree difference in temp. You should get one of the laser pointers that measure temp.
There are alot of old Jags and BMW's with the ZF trans that have never had the trans oil changed. I wouldn't recommend a full change if it's never been done. Just drain the pain and refill with fresh oil. You can only change about 3-4 quarts that way. Do that every 2 months to get the trans used to the new oil and to slowly remove any sludge that the trans has been using for friction. I've been doing that on a Jaguar S TYPE with the V8/ZF 6 combo.
It just keeps shifting better and better ever time I swap a trans pan worth of oil. MPG also went up and it's much faster.
On a newer car, you should start changing the trans oil around 40k-60k mark. But on cars with over a 100k its better to slowly (over a year) change only a pans worth of oil.
Good luck.
Nothing short of spectacular.. information I’m sure is greatly appreciated and Ives not only myself peace of mind but other who are a little hesitant about the transmission service.
Myself I still have to give out how exactly to revive it correctly. I’ve only did a drain and fill and the vehicle wasn’t driven in a couple years and I wanted to replace trans pan and filter- I never seen any info on this. Thanks for the info 👍🏻
They consider the "life" to be 100K miles so i changed mine around 75K miles.
Best video, a little too much talking, but the best I've found so far.
Thanks, I needed this video !!!
You can collect the fluid to see how much comes out thanks for a great video!! :)
Usually about 3.5 quarts come out from what I understand...and that would mean if when you start the process the correct amount is in there. That is why it is a good Idea to start with the level check plug and make sure it is filled up to max first.
Love jaguar! Drive 2001 x-type, repair it myself and make videos!
My Jag x-type transmission started slipping, and linking oil then finally stopped moving (To add it cranked up perfectly) . I put back 3 quarts of transmission oil and it drove me back home like brand new. Does that mean a pipe bust, or my transmission is going out? please give me advise on what to do?
My 2002 X-type 2.5 takes a 24MM Socket for the transmission drain. I do not use adjustable end wrenches for auto work. Now looking for a video to change the transmission filter too
Good luck. Chris Fix talks about the difference between what he calls a change and a flush. I don't know if shops that offer a flush do any such thing. Therefore, the drain and replace might not be stupid.
I dont think any auto manu recommends what they call a flush. it voids most warranties. Some places do have a machine that sucks out the fluid, runs it thru a filter and puts it back in while hot . These do an ok job. most places just dump the fluid and add some back. Note if the fluid is black I do not recommend a fluid swap. usually if the fluid is black it is from burnt clutches which will slip and totally fail with in a week of a dump and fill. If its black its too late.Just put old fluid back into the transmission and start saving for a rebuild. If its got shiny metal bits in it then also plan on a rebuild. If its brown then a dump and fill with new may be in order with a new filter.
Drive it around come back and change it instantly or few days later or? When you drain it are you just wasting oil?
What manual transition fluid does a jaguar x type 2.5petrol 2004 take???
xj8 2003. My battery is in the trunk too. Same process?
how much in quantity do i need to replace the transmission oil in the x type
Hi have a 2005 jaguar s type 3.0 v6 is it the same process
Anyone know how to get to the transmission pickup screen on the '04 Jaguar X-Type JATCO 5-spd automatic?
There is a level plug you can take out to check the level.
do you know why my transmission drained 4.5 qts?
Alguien puede decir como cambiar. Transmision automatica de un jaguar 2004
Is this the same on a manual
Only car I ever had that car is turned off, cuz battery needs to come out to put in oil, to ad transmission fluid..
I had a few of these Jags, mine today is actually the same color blue no bs what's the chances...
wath oil use
What x type was it a diesel?
Hi, good night, does anybody knows what kind of oil transmission needs a 2004 V6 Jaguar. Thanks for ur comments.
Javier Peniche Pink & slippery. Like my mom.
Good video but if you do the "wash rinse repeat" wont that be wasting new fluid like how many quarts would one have to buy to do the wash rinse repeat? Thanks for any info you can give me.
B King 40 to 45 quartz will do the kitty good.
@@igiveuponhumanity9238 the transmission I believe holds 9.3 quarts. I personally would just drain it completely, add 8-ish quarts, warm up tranny fluid with engine running, pull level checking plug and add till it comes out with the temp around 85-104 degrees. Mind you the specs say when filling the temp should not go over 104!
Ian B Thanks, genius, for that pointless reply to what should have been my blatantly obvious joke of an answer.
Did you really think 40-45 quarts was genuine advice?
WAIT, don't answer that... please.
@@igiveuponhumanity9238 I think your reply was the pointless one and what @ian_b said was helpful.
@ianutube22 this will way overfill the trans. There is a separate level bolt under the trans. Check the workshop manual.
Cool

Sorry that I don’t have an answer for you but as your comment is now six months old I am curious if topping off the fluid proved to solve the problem or if you needed further service. Also, is it the case that you just topped it off without draining anything whatsoever. Thank you!
@@XGempler did you ever get an answer?
Did it fix it?
My 04 Jaguar XJ8 has a battery in the trunk....where do I look?
you look up on RUclips about an 04xj8 transmission fluid change since its different because it's a v8
so your car is a XJ8 but you’re at a X-type video??
@@jesseturbosss there's barely any videos for the 2004 xj , hence why he's here so chill bud
@@Noah24Cline doesn’t matter, not the same car, not the same layout, it’s common sense so shut up bud
@@jesseturbosss love you too
Where is the transmission filter located
Fresh55n9ne It’s within the transmission and not serviceable.
@@gooburrum your goofy
What type of fluid does it take in the transmission
LT71141
BR-549
Pete Wallace I used valvoline atf max
Battery terminals are 10mm
my battery is in the trunk?
Greg Obzut not the same car?
How Ltrs?
Draining just the trans should be 3.3ltrs. Full capacity is 8.8 ltrs but thrust box and internal fluid Chambers hold the rest. Just changing the 3.3ltrs every 12 months for a couple of years will keep the trans tip top. Then repeat every 50k miles.
que tipo de liquido lleva o marca
@@Scrumpys
Could I suck the oil out of the fill plug?
I tried this on the Mondeo mk3 did not work, I could not get more than 200 ml out the fill plug
Wash rinse and repeat part makes no sense. Says change 3.5 4 times or until clear but you never said how often or how soon to change
Is the gearbox fluid and transmission fluid the same?
Good video but you skipped a few things for newbies
I asked a Jaguar mechanic if I should change the fluid on my 3.0 X-Type and he said that you should never do it!! This guy even ripped me off on something else, and could have done it with this other aspect but didn't.
Find a new mechanic
He was wrong. All fluids deteriorate over time. Jag recommend change every 100k miles.
As a transmission tech for the last 48 yeas i tell you that you should not listen to his recommendation. if your fluid is dark you have something burnt in the transmission and changing your fluid might be the worst idea
so what's your recommendation?
I think a flush would be a bad idea...but just changing it should not hurt anything at all.
@@daddylogan seen It cause complete failure of transmission.. as the shit in the fluid was allowing the box to work lol fresh fluid stops it working if it's fucked. It's a lifetime oil and was never meant to be replaced. My x type is a rusty as fuck that one on here looks great. Lucky Americans.
@@daddylogan I honeslty have seen cars that ran perfect UNTIL the owner wanted a fresh oil change on the autobox . My jagaur x type hasn't failed infact I have only spent £12 this year on anti roll bar bushes.. MOT is tommorow which I'm worried about .. It's cheaper for the box to fail and then replace it than to change the fluids.. £ 60 for an autubox and you can pick an 02 plate up for £300 in the UK.. your car looks like a 2 year old car underneath.. Mines super rusty on a 2005. There notorious for rusting over here as the rain and salt in the winter. It's cheaper to replace the car as people practically give them away. Mines on 102k and shifts nice so I just leave him be.. the used car market in England is dire cars are worth penny's so jagaur probably thought they will be scrapped before the box fails. Hence they used lifetime oil lol
@@daddylogan I just changed the trans oil in my 2003 Jag S Type, replacing about 4 quarts. Huge-night in day difference. Shifts like new. Butter smooth.
Much faster. Amazing how much old trans fluid impacts performance. I'll find out what it did to the mpg tomorrow but I can bet it's going to be much better.
Thanks for posting such good directions.
I'm changing the trans fluid in my son's Jaguar X Type now following your video and will report back after I drive it.
Sealed for life means very different things to the owner and the factory. To me sealed for life means the life of the car.
Nope!
The factory means the life of the warranty. After that you're on your own (meaning your fucked)
Now even the pompous asses at ZF recommend changing the ZF 6 every 60,000 miles.
After a decade + of misinforming owners and Jag techs that the liquid gold ($60 per quart) never broke down and lasted forever...but if you do change it you have to use their oil only.
Not true!
You can also use much less expensive transmission fluid sold by all the major brands that sell everywhere, from Walmart to Costco, Auto Zone, O'Riley's, ect...
No need to spend $60 per quart.
I'm not suggesting that you use unbranded crap.
That's not a crescent wrench, it's an adjustable wrench.
