If one was to leave this Box how it was ( never service it) what results would you expect? box eventually dieing? for a stock example Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/75173-zf-fluid/page/20/#findComment-1193426 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lifetime Members 10,282 Member For: 22y 28d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 09/02/12 05:44 AM Share Posted 09/02/12 05:44 AM Do you really want to wait until it starts playing up before changing the oil?I'd rather be proactive with it than reactive.

Towing adds extra load and heat too.It's just like waiting for the oil light to come on before changing your engine oil.Also while in there changing the heat exchanger seems to be a good idea too.

As soon as we could see clean oil coming out of the heat exchanger we turned off the car, reconnected heat exchanger and topped up. We then test drove the car, rechecked the oil level.
