I'll believe that if I see photos of it, which S8 did you buy?

I was looking with interest to see pics of your new motor but can't find any, just wondered if you'd posted any for me to drool over?

LG8 = Lifeguard 8, the oil designed for the 8 speed boxes and there's an update to the software (or at least there was on my 4.2 Diesel).
From memory, there's green, and blue LG6 oil, and yellow is the LG8 which funnily enough is more expensive...

He say me to drain and refill with ZF lifeguard 6 and do not do anithing more when the car goes to 90.000 Milles ( 150.000 Kms ) . Not open the pan and do not put a new filter because it has a lot of work. My question is, haw do you do the transmission service in your S8 ?. Thank you and excuse my bad english!!!!!!.

Hello Eisenmann (something like "Iron Man" in German),
Welcome to the forum, and your English is much better than mine. I cannot offer any help in this area, oil is not my forte, my tame fitter does all that for me. I prefer to sit and drive the superb car in the sunshine.

S8 oil change
Hi Eisenmann,
I had the oil change done by my Audi dealer at the same time as engine out for power steering pump failure. Not sure how they did it, suspect suck out or disconnect hose? Cheers Richard

Hello richardracer, understand. With the engine out is very easy to do it. In normal conditions to get out the pan it has a lot of work. A lot of hours to get out all the mechanical things put down the pan. It is not viable.
Any one of yours has do it geting out the pan in a S8 ?. The idea of drain and refill without touching the pan what is your opinión ? Regards EISENMANN |

LG8 and update done today at Mackies.
Initial impressions are that the box is slurring a lot more but it's still adapting to the the new oil (no chance of doing a proper adaptation drive in rush hour traffic from Weegie) but the on demand/higher load changes feel much nicer. No nasties found in the old oil which is good news. Not done any 'from cold' drives in it yet
