Been looking at a change on the 5g 722.6
Just the oil pan 4litre, not the torque converter.
it seems to me to not be that much more difficult than an engine oil change.
So here's my plan.
Get the box slightly warm.
Drain oil.
Remove oil pan.
Change filter, magnet, gasket.
Clean up and replace pan.
Measure drained oil and replace with same amount fresh.
Work the box through the gears while stationary to get the fluid dispersed.
Go for a good drive.
Check the 80 degree level and top up with warmed fluid if necessary.
Check for leaks.
If all ok, lock the fill pipe and job done.
Obviously I'd make sure the torque was right on the nuts and do them up in the right sequence.
Anyone done this?
