Applicable to: USA/Cda

Subject: Automatic Transmission Filter Replacement Interval

Service Bulletin G97-027 introduces new Maintenance Schedules for the Land Rover product line which simplify the routine maintenance requirements for all models.

We wish to call to your attention to one of the important changes found in these revised schedules:

^ Effective with this Service Bulletin, the requirement for Automatic Transmission filter replacement has been reduced to once over the lifetime of the transmission. The change is to be performed at the 30-thousand mile service.

^ All Land Rover products equipped with the ZF automatic transmission produced since 1987 benefit from this change in policy. Reduced maintenance costs for owners of older Land Rover product is one of the key benefits of this change in policy.

ZF has advised Land Rover that a filter change after the 30-thousand mile service is required only if there is reason to believe the fluid has become contaminated. If you have questions regarding this matter please contact your Product Support Representative.
