LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option
Most filler pumps include a selection of adapter tubes. If you don't have a pump, you'll need to buy one, or fabricate something. I have the Extoil unit shown below, there are others with a similar design. Pretty sure I used adapter tube #43 or #43... -

Help! Its Smoking!
Glad you got it sorted out. Nope, makes no sense to me. The level sensor is an ultrasonic device, IIRC, submersed in the sump. Did the electronic "dipstick" in the instrument cluster not show the oil level was low? Or was there simply no warning light / warning message about low oil, unless... -
Highest mileage LR4?
Just passed 150kmi on our 2010, the oil usage is near zero when changing by 10kmi (or less). -
Front brake pads on 2013LR4 funny looking weight?
I've only used Ferodo (OEM) so far, and only had to install one set of front pads. It needs rotors though, we've had a slight vibration since buying in early 2017 but it hasn't been bad enough to replace everything - yet. Sweet! We are coming up on the 7th anniversary, on Feb-1, 2017... 111kmi... -
Front brake pads on 2013LR4 funny looking weight?
Ryan, what color / part number EBC pads are you using? And yes, the cylinder on the OE/dealer and OEM/Ferodo pads is a weight that is a vibration damper. -
LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option
ATF should likely be replaced every 30kmi or so, since it's not possible to fully drain the transmission (not sure if "flush" machines can do this via the cooler pipes). Filter probably at 50k-75k intervals, maybe? This will vary with usage, i.e. towing or offroading, vs lots of highway miles... -

LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option
@itsaguything : The steel pan allows changing the filter without removing the chassis crossmember, saving a ton of work. I haven't heard of leaks with the steel pan, but there's an aftermarket gasket discussed earlier in this thread that appears more robust than the stock gasket (or... -
LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option
I believe the ports are different levels. The port on the side of the transmission should be higher than the port on the pan with the stand pipe attached. Exactly! This is what I was trying to say in previous posts. I agree, and am curious what ZF has to say. -
LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option
Use the fill port in the transmission housing. This eliminates all variables and will result in the correct fluid level for the Land Rover application, regardless of any difference in pan volume. The only question that would remain is if for some reason you really, really want to fill and set... -
LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option
Ryan is correct. Unless there is a plastic pipe connected above the pan fill/drain port, it's unpossible to fill this way. Mercedes pans can fill from the pan but they use the plastic pipe design, where ZF uses the transmission housing side-port design. :stupido2: -
LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option
Can you measure the depth of the plastic pan, and the steel pan? That should confirm if there is a volume difference, although calculating the exact amount will be difficult. The factory fill-to-spill method at a precise temp (40°C?) will result in the correct fluid level, regardless of pan... -
Adaptive/Non-Adaptive Headlights
There might be a part number either on the headlight assembly, or on a sticker on the assembly... but that would require knowing which part numbers are which. I'm away from home at the moment and don't have access to Microcat to look up the part numbers.- gsxr

HD vs non-HD package LR4
I've never found a useful online VIN decoder for the LR4, that works with any/all VIN's. If there is one, I'd love to know about it.
