I know engine is different, but would you not change the engine oil if it's running faultlessly??
ZF clearly states to replace the oil either after 100,000 or 7 years, which ever is first.
Good point. I do change my oil within every 10k miles. Which is probably overkill with 507.

I just have a niggle, I think I’ve read something somewhere of faults after fluid change with gearboxes.

Edit: I know ZF make them, but don’t Audi et al still suggest they’re ‘sealed for life’?
