OK, I buy the argument that "powerflushing" is best as it changes almost all of the oil whereas even a full double change (ie 14 litres) leaves 13% of the old stuff in there.

With all respect, the 5 speed boxes are cheaper to repair than the 6speed boxes.

OK, decided I'd just do a change so bought sump/filter and 11 litres of Meyle fluid & headed of to my pal's garage.

I changed a sump just last week, and that took 6L to refill, though they do usually take 7...

Temp is for gearbox oil temp, it has a sensor in the box and should be read with a diagnostic tool...

I am having a gearbox flush done on my 2007 TDV8 which is on 113k miles on Friday at a place near York. I don't know if the oil has been done before but since I have just bought the car I am doing transfer box, both diffs and gearbox. I will be sending a sample of the old oil off for analysis. I will report my findings.

Fluids all changed. Gearbox oil was nowhere near as bad as some. Rear diff was pretty bad and front diff had been changed recently. Transfer box was unremarkable. Gearbox is shifting nicely but I will report back after a cold start. I have a sample and will send it off on Monday.
