Don't think you realise how valuable these videos really are Conner so please keep them coming.
Will do Dave, thanks for the support. Makes me feel like it’s all worth it!
Thanks again Connor. I know your F-type is long gone but I keep finding myself coming back to your videos. Not many went the extra mile like you. Mucccchhhhhhh appreciated.
You really need to support the car on axle stands when working under it rather than leave it to the hydraulic jacks !!!
Great video bro, I definitely appreciate all your how to videos especially on how detailed you are with them as I am a firm believer that the quality is in the details. Keep up the great work I’m sure all of us F-Type owners appreciate it. 👍🏼
I appreciate that, thanks for the comment and support!
Great Video. I really appreciate you taking the effort.
not your most popular videos but definitely your most helpful
I appreciate that! Thanks Ashraf
I know you sold your F Type R but man you are the go to for all my maintenance stuff. These videos are excellent and your style of explanation is very easy to understand. You don’t skip steps. So thank you for doing these!!!
Thanks! I appreciate the comment 👍🏼🙏🏼
I truly appreciate all your videos and love the helpful ones the most. Please keep them coming.
I appreciate it Criag, will do!
I have a Jaguar XE and I learn as well from your videos! Please keep making them!!!
Will do, thanks for the comment
Thank you for your videos. I’ve learned more practical information and “how-to” from you on the F-Type than anywhere else. Thanks and keep it up!
Thank you! I will try my best
These vids are so informative! Your helping seal the deal on an F-Type S V8.
Right on, thanks for the comment
My turn to do the differential and the transmission on the f type... 🙂 thanks mate ! 🤙🤙
Hi bud, your videos are excellent, don’t stop. Clive, from UK
Thanks Clive!
Great stuff - keep it coming. Thanks
Will do! Thanks!
Yes keep doing this stuff
Thank u my brother just bought im watching all your videos to do the maintenance this Saturday.
Right on!
Great job!!! Enjoyed the video!!
I appreciate it man!
Thanks for this great video. Doing this soon!
No problem, thanks for the comment 👍🏼
The lack of jack stands had me freaking out. Thx for the helpful vid.
We won't have him for much longer.
Excellent information,,,,, Thanks for Sharing and taking the time to make this video.
No problem! Thanks for the comment 👍🏼
Thanks for the walk through - great video as always. Just put the deposit down on my 2015 F-Type R (should have it delivered within the week) and am ordering the fluids right now as my first order of business will be to swap the diff fluid!
Awesome! Congrats man, such a great car
Awesome brother. Much appreciated.
Thanks for the comment 👍🏼
Thanks , very useful information
Dude I plan on DIY when my factory warranty runs out. You are now my favorite person on youtube with these videos !!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼💯💯💯 You the MVP man !! 👍🏼👍🏼
I really appreciate that Amar! Thanks 🙏🏼
@@skrrtgarage3922 - about to hit 30k miles and will be doing this. Using your break pad video in the meantime for changing the rear ones only. Somehow those are are a 3 and the front ones are at a 6. Thanks again !
Thanks for posting the DIY videos! Going to check with my son-in-law to see if he has the jacks & ramps. Got 35600 mi on my F-Type S AWD & don’t want any differential problems! Hey, enjoy your new Lexus!
Thanks Mark! I appreciate the comment
I took your advice and kindly asked the parts guy at my local JLR dealer if he could discount the price of the diff oil. No go. They wanted 92.50 per liter bottle, and that’s as good as they would do. I told him to keep it and I bought it online for around $65 per liter.
Thanks!
Your videos are great. Thanks so much for these. It just makes me nervous seeing you don’t have jack stands under there too.
Mobil 1 diff gear oil costs $9/quart. Its a good idea to run some through, or do a change and drive around the block, then change again, to clean the old oil out before filling with the expensive stuff. Also, no need to remove the wheel.
Thank you for the video! Will do this diff oil change soon on my 5.0l 2011 XK, which was kind of the less sporty predecessor model line of the F-Type. Should be very similar… I will use 0.9 litres of Motul 300 Gear oil as per Motul’s oil spec recommendation for my XK’s open diff (XKR have the eDiff).
Right on! Thanks for the comment brother
Bedankt
Just subscribed. Thank you for your how to videos. Just picked up a 15 Coupe S. Not many diy videos on here on the platform so I greatly appreciate these.
Thanks for the support!
@@skrrtgarage3922 Do you think one could do this job without taking the wheels off? There is local diy shop with a drive up lift that I plan to use.
Yea it’s possible, but so easier with the wheel off.. I would recommend having it off
@@skrrtgarage3922 Thank you. Any more DIY videos coming up? How about the ZF transmission. Do you plan to do a fluid change on it?
Yea I have a few more already filmed, I’m trying to decide on which videos to get out first. As far as the transmission, I probably won’t mess with that until closer to 45-50miles
Thank you
Thanks for the comment!
Yip love the videos bud handy ;)
Thank you David!
Love the vid.. Dealership just quoted me 500.00 for this exact job.. Told them I will find another way
Right on!
Let’s see how long your OEM cats last with the tune and pulley! Congrats on the new VAP Stage 2 kit! Hopefully your OEM supercharger crank pulley bolts aren’t red loctite into the crank pulley! :)
Lol seriously! You’ve got me already planning on getting 200cells. I’m so excited to get the stage two out on!
Another excellent video, I love these DIY videos. Can I ask is the SVR and AWD exactly the same as the RWD R in the process of doing this?
Yea the process is the exact same, only difference is the AWD also requires a diff change for the front axel
My 2017 F-Type S has 36k miles on it. I just finished changing the differential oil. The used oil was very black and and more viscous than the new oil. There's no doubt that it should have been changed long ago. I'll change it every 15k miles from now on. There were no visible metal shavings on the drain plug magnet, just a chunk of metal powder about the size of a nickel. I did take the left wheel off in an attempt to get to the fill plug. I absolutely couldn't see it. When I got up under the car, it was pretty easy to see. I guess I should have tried that first. On my car there was no way to get to the fill plug through the wheel well. However, it was easy to get to from the bottom. The location of the fill plug seemed to be lower and further toward the front of the car versus the diagram shown in this video. I filled it using the Ravenol MDL. Jaguar's instruction to not use the fill hole as a leveling point is just plain stupid. They could have easily put the location lower. I estimate that I put in about 1.4L in, but I don't really know. I used some to clean my pump before filling and some spilled out after filling. I did put new thread sealant on the plugs and tightened them per the torque recommendation in this video. It seems to be working fine now. I'll let you know if anything goes wrong.
Yea the f type s has a different full hole from the R. I recently changed the diff fluid on an S. The manual states the f type needs .83 liter of oil. How were you able to fit 1.4? Thanks for the comment.
@@skrrtgarage3922 It's probably less than 1.4L, but it was definitely more than .83L. I have a bit less than .6L left from the two liters. I probably used up .3L when I ran some through my pump to clean it. A decent amount spilled out when I leveled the car. It's just hard to say. Perhaps I ended up getting only about 1L in there. That's why having a fill hole in the correct location is critical to eliminate guesswork. Where'd you find the specification for .83L?
I agree, it’s in the workshop manual. I put a picture of the table in my video as well
Just as a helpful note, you can just fill the until through the fill plug until it starts to dribble out. It's easier than the fill to volume method and absolutely fine for the unit.
Also, the dark oil and powdery sediment on the drain magnet is normal. This is just the micro phophate gear coating wearing off during initial bedding in. You won't usually see it on a second oil change if you were to do one 👍
This was so helpfull, I just bought a 2015 V6 F-Type S w/33K. Would process (location of fill/drain plugs) be the same on the V6?
I’m 💯 going to buy this car now... and I work at a Jag dealer in service ...
Right on!
Im a new F Type S owner (2017) and hear from the tranny pros that due to the the sealed transmission the fluid need 'not' and cannot easily be changed? please comment
Thx for the videos and keep them coming. I have a 2016 F-Type S and your videos will be very useful when I start doing my own maintenance after 2021 when the included maintenance ends. What are your thoughts on the transmission fluid change interval?
I appreciate the comment! I don’t think the transmission is as vulnerable as the differentials in these cars, so you can probably safely stick to the manufacturer recommended schedule. If you drive really hard, maybe change around ~40k miles
I just changed the differential fluid for the first time on my 2017 F-Type S at 36k miles. It wasn't chunky, but the oil was solid black and more viscous than the new fluid. If I had it to do over again, I would change it every 15k miles. I can't speak for the manual transmission fluid as I have not done it yet.
Hi is it the same oil for front diff? As I have the awd
incredibly valuable content. I just got a 40k miles R and thinking I should do this just in case, would you recommend it?
Thanks for the comment 👍🏼
Ravenol MDL specifically indicates that it meets the BOT 720 specification. You can get it from blauparts.com for less than half the price of the Castrol BOT 720.
That’s a good find! Thanks for the comment
Hi I have enjoyed your videos
You did not mention the condition of your diff fluid after 36K miles I think you mentioned.
Was the fluid in need of change ??
Interesting that Jaguar does not require any fluid change on the diffs and transfer case in the case of AWD
Yea I should have provided a photo of the fluid, it would obviously very black and I had quite a bit of sludge built up on my magnetic drain plug. This service wasn’t required on my car yet either, but it was definitely time for it! This is more of a preventative maintenance item more than anything.
How often do you think we should be doing this and the breather cleaning? Thanks!
Not very often, maybe once a year max
I used redline in mines. Redline told me to run a 75w140 instead of the 75w90 for better protection and cooling. And i have for over a year now with no issues. My diff failed using the OEM fluid.
That’s good to know, I’m usually all for trying other brands but I just couldn’t find the oil spec anywhere
e-diffs will not distribute torque properly without the OEM fluid. But change every 15K miles as it won't last 30K.
@@FFE-js2zp my car now has 92k on it. Changed it to redline at 50k. And everything works perfectly lol
Did I miss the oil filter change?
Okay - so the refill plug was an absolute B to get back in. I found that if you are on a lift you can actually press the plug up against the treads with enough pressure to get it started using two fingers. if you try to do it with the long extensions it's damn near impossible to get it to bite. make sure you clean the threads of the refill plug too.
Yes! The refill plug took a bit of time and patience to get off lol
Going to have to try the two fingers tomorrow. I couldn’t get the plug to bite with the extension and was afraid I would cross thread.
I'm trying to do as much preventative maintenance as I can afford cuz the ride has 85K miles
Does this only happen if you are like constantly gassing it or if you just drive normally is this not a problem
I think it could theoretically happen to anyone under any condition. I believe it’s really uncommon and it would obviously be covered under a warranty if you bought a car with one.
My supra has a differential gearbox temperature warning light. I am surprised Jaguar does not
Interesting, yea that would honestly be very handy. I’ve seen this fluid get so hot it turns to sludge
What about all wheel drive f type differentials? Are there problems with those?
Cleaning the front crank case is also a good idea!
Hi, what size for the square socket ( for draining ) ? 8mm ? Thx in advance
I would have to check, did I not list it in the video?
@@skrrtgarage3922 it's not listed ^^
Shoot alright, I’ll look. If you get the little tool set I included, it’s in there
Did anyone find the answer to this?
The diff oil is a big point of confusion and I think Jaguar does this on purpose.
I think you’re right
I just did this. Not filling it until it runs out freaks me out. I'm worried that I underfilled it. It seems to work fine, but it is very difficult to get the fill tube in the diff properly. How much do you think would make a difference? Im definitely over 1l, but maybe 1.1.
I 100% know what you mean, it’s kinda bizarre not filling it up all the way.
You’re most likely fine, depending on how it drained, some might still be in there. Did you use that chart I had in the video? My car called for 1.24 or something like that
@@skrrtgarage3922
Filling it til it drains out the fill plug is fine, they drain right at 1.2L.
My jag f type S has 75k miles how often should I change this fluid ?
Specifically the differential fluid
Nice video, but I am going to be that guy. Jack stands.
You can be that guy, I should have used them
@@skrrtgarage3922 I got jack stands on the brain because I had some from Harbor Freight that were recalled. I will tackle my differential fluid at some point, I've been inspired! Only 23K miles on my 2016 V6S, but will tackle soon.
I had those same ones! Lol I had to replace mine also
You think the SVR has the same diff?
Yea it does
We don't have an XK but do have an X100 and an X150 and these don't even have a drain plug so the X152 is a major improvement from Jaguar. It's a good video but just one question: why did you bother to lift the front wheels? 🤔
Thanks for the comment! I raised the front also to that the drain and fill would be more precise. If I only raised the back then not all of the fluid would drain.
@@skrrtgarage3922 Ah, I see. Thanks for the reply. I wouldn't have bothered about the slight difference that it might make to the drain volume but I understand your reasoning.
What size ball hex bit did you use?
8mm I think.. I’m pretty sure I put it in the video
@@skrrtgarage3922 you did. I missed it. Thank you
this oil have 75w90 viscosity man
Thanks! I couldn’t find it on the bottle
