Use ZF oil, it's the only one that fully meets the requirements of the OEM (others will be to minimum specification but won't have the additives only ZF use) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/314271555888 as an example.

From sister owner forums DrRob kindly had a "at home" gearbox flush day. There were a few of us that graced his driveway getting Bodsy (Ian Bodsworth) to flush our gearbox. A thoroughly knowledgeable LR enthusiast and approach him without caution. No regrets whatsoever. visiting from www.rrsport.co.uk |

Sorry but I have had a bad experience with them. Would not trust them to change a light bulb. Ivan 2013 Vogue SE SDV8 2013 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE Luxury |

I bought 8l of ZF8 gearbox oil and sump from a ZF distributor but only used 4.6l (oil cooler not flushed) and 2l of transfer box oil from the local JLR dealer. Cost was £480 (circa £350 if you take away the unused oil) so £1k leaves a lot for labour for what is a maximum 2hr job. |

I used Mannol AG60 in my ZF8 on the L405 about 50k miles ago. It is still changing very smoothly and I shall be using it again soon. I also used to use Mannol AG55 in my ZF6 in my L320. Never had any issues, always super smooth changes. Kev 2014 L405 RR Vogue SE 4.4 SDV8 in Corris Grey 2010 L320 RRS HSE 3.0 TDV6 in Stornoway Grey |

Not that local to you but I went to Wantage 4x4 for an ATF mega flush £395 + vat - Including filter change for my 2016 @75k miles. Just for preventative maintenance. Would Highly recommend them. |
