Thought so.

Thanks audifin.

M-A8, I think we are safe. We don't need oil service ever!!
Going by Audi but I'd rather go by what ZF says and get it done any way.

I think at 155k it got to be due.

Having a general catch up with a mate last night and mentioned the gearbox.
He said I can use his ramps to do the oil myself if I wanted.

I like the idea of doing it my shelf cause its cheaper but its not always about getting it cheaper and saving money. I want the job done properly and correctly.
But this got me thinking.

What is the difference between me doing it using all the proper oils, filters, seals and getting it up to the correct temperature.
Compared to a ZF authorised service centre?
