Fluid Drain And Refill

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Jaguar XJ, 2014 Jaguar XJ, and 2013 Jaguar XJ. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

    4. Make sure the transmission control switch (TCS) is in the Park (P) position.
    5. Do not start the engine.
  2. Refer to: Air Deflector (Removal and Installation).
  3. Place a container under the transmission.
  4. G11291618

    • Fill the transmission with the correct specification of fluid. Fill oil through the overflow hole until the level inside is high enough that oil starts to trickle back out of the same hole.

      Refer to SPECIFICATIONS .

    1. Install the fluid level plug, only finger tight at this stage.
    2. Remove the container from under the transmission to avoid damage.
