Gulf Western is what I was referring to and yes it should stay nice and red with a healthy trans Edited 21/01/19 10:41 AM by Princess Fluffy Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/94299-dealer-told-me-not-to-service-my-zf-6sp-opinions/page/5/#findComment-1671607 Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Andrew Gold Donating Members 2,040 Member For: 10y 2m 6d Gender: Male Location: Canberra ACT Posted 21/01/19 11:00 AM Share Posted 21/01/19 11:00 AM Yep Gulf Western it it now. To backtrack a bit, the original question was about what factory Lifeguard looks like on a first-time drain.Anyway, that container is the mankiest thing floating around my shed, with all sorts of engine, power steering and mower oil residue that it's been used for lately, plus dust and metal filings. In hindsight, posting a picture wasn't that helpful.The point I was trying to help with was that yes, servicing your ZF is a must. I think we all agree on that! 1 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/94299-dealer-told-me-not-to-service-my-zf-6sp-opinions/page/5/#findComment-1671608 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently everyone agrees ?! I read that zf recommends 60 thousand km service intervals. 1 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/94299-dealer-told-me-not-to-service-my-zf-6sp-opinions/page/5/#findComment-1671609 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silly then that the manufacturers say sealed for life. The other thing we can agree on is that the Gulf Western oil smells like arse.

Used FEBI Bilstein fluid. Has done 62,000 since then , no issues. Mechanic said the old fluid looked ok. I did the diff at the same time, he said it looked sh*thouse. Used Penrite synthetic for that.

Ex chaser Member 46 Member For: 8y 22d Posted 28/01/19 10:17 AM Share Posted 28/01/19 10:17 AM Yes they will as it is a sealed for life unit and it doesn't need to be serviced according to for. Interesting how the warranty period for all new Ford vehicles collected from 1 May 2018 onwards is 5 years/unlimited km*. Any new vehicles picked up prior to 1 May 2018 are covered by the 3 year/100,000km (whichever comes first) Warranty*. No faith in the falcon ford?
