Filled for life is nonsense - my LR service document does not mention filled for life but has change gearbox fluid at 10 years or 240,000km whatever is earlier and if used in arduous conditions - such as normal city commuting is to be changed earlier - nothing filled for life - is an urban myth. 07MY RRS TDV6

I had the gearbox oil changed in my SDV6 at 70k miles earlier this year. The TDV8 was also changed early at a similar mileage. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

I’m signed up to the Bodsy event on the 19th Jan. Mines on 60k but it’s 12 years old.

You'd be surprised just how dirty the oil is, even at 60k miles... |

I recently changed the gearbox oil on my daughters 2013 Ford Fiesta with 48,000 on the clock. Even I was shocked at the condition of the oil which we drained out!
