What Type of Transmission Fluid Should I Use In My Range Rover?
The owner's manual typically specifies the recommended Range Rover transmission fluid. Always consult the vehicle's service owner's manual to confirm what specific fluids or oils are required for your Range Rover model. These specifications can typically be referenced in the owner's manual index under operating fluids. If the owner's manual has been lost and it is difficult to determine what type of Range Rover oil to use, refer to our BLAU® Transmission Fluid Filter Change Kits buttons below, which match the correct Range Rover transmission fluid for each specific model and type.
Recommended 9 Speed & 8 Speed Land Rover Range Rover Transmission Fluid Type
- The Range Rover 8 and 9 speed transmissions were manufactured by ZF and use a specific transmission oil formulated for ZF transmissions.
- The correct Range Rover ATF for the Range Rover 8 and 9 speed transmissions can be identified by several part numbers such as Range Rover LR023288, LR023289 fluid type. Also known as Shell M-L12108, ZF LifeguardFluid 8, or S671090312.

Why Is Changing Land Rover Range Rover Transmission Fluid Important?
Range Rover models that experience more aggressive driving styles or are typically subjected to heavy city traffic tend to generate extreme heat in the transmission. Owners subjecting their vehicles to severe driving conditions may wish to replace the transmission fluid and filter more frequently.
Land Rover Range Rover transmissions have hundreds of moving components, such as needle bearings, ball bearings, pressure pumps, clutch packs, servo pistons, and seals. These internal components mesh or engage with one another, causing friction and begin to wear and create fine metallic particles which contaminate your Range Rover transmission fluid over time. Your Range Rover transmission fluid and filament transmission filter eventually become contaminated with these particles. These metallic particles can cause wear on these internal transmission components leading to inefficiencies in the transmission and long-term reliability issues.
Also, through everyday transmission use and thousands of transmission operation shifting cycles, the essential additives and base oils in the transmission fluid deplete, break down, and wear out. As part of your vehicle's regular maintenance, you should change the transmission fluid and filter, replenishing the transmission with fresh transmission fluid.
Suppose a Range Rover transmission has had poor service and has worn out the transmission fluid. In that case, it will typically be noticed by poor transmission operation with symptoms such as premature late shift points, rough or jamming shifts, and slipping. If you have seen a new transmission fluid, it's nearly clear in color compared to the dark color of an old worn-out transmission fluid. You most likely will agree that it is logical that changing your Range Rover automatic transmission fluid and filter on a regularly scheduled interval is necessary for long-term transmission reliability and consistent performance. If you are experiencing these transmission shifting issues, we recommend changing your automatic transmission fluid and filter as a first step in trying to resolve any problems dealing with transmission operation.
Right-Hand Pictured Example: Transmission service performed in our repair shop on a vehicle with a 5 speed ZF Tiptronic automatic transmission with approximately 80,000 miles on it. The customer complained of shifting problems when the transmission was cold. Note the dirty metallic sediment that was removed from the transmission drain pan. After changing the automatic transmission fluid using one of our BLAU Transmission Fluid Filter Change Kits, the customer reported that his transmission shifting problems were gone. If you're experiencing transmission shifting problems with your Range Rover, Blauparts recommends changing your automatic transmission fluid and filter as a first step in solving the problem.
