Which Jaguar XE, XF and F-Pace cars have the ZF 8HP
- Jaguar XE2015–2024
- Automatic versions (early UK cars were also offered with a manual). 8HP45 or 8HP70; 8HP51 on the later 20d RWD.[1, 2, 3]
Gearbox versions are as published by the car maker, ZF and the sources below. We confirm your car's exact gearbox from its VIN before ordering parts.
What to know about the 8HP in a Jaguar XE, XF and F-Pace
- Jaguar specified two versions: the 8HP70 for all-wheel-drive and the more powerful engines, and the lighter, more compact 8HP45 for rear-drive and four-cylinder cars. They take different pans and filters, so we order by your car's VIN.[4, 6]
- On the four-cylinder F-Pace, the 8HP45 has a pendulum damper in the torque converter.[6]
- The earlier XF (X250) is listed with the 8HP for 2013–2015 cars. For an older XF, send us the registration and we will check.[3]

Questions we get asked
Do the XE, XF and F-Pace really have the same gearbox?
The same ZF 8HP family, in two sizes. Jaguar uses the lighter 8HP45 on most four-cylinder and rear-drive cars and the 8HP70 on all-wheel-drive and the more powerful versions. The service is the same; the parts and the fluid quantity differ, which is why we price from your registration.
Jaguar says the gearbox is sealed for life. Should I change the oil?
Yes. ZF's own data sheet for the fluid recommends an oil change after 150,000 km (about 93,000 miles), and sooner with hard use or an unknown history. We recommend 60,000 to 80,000 miles.
My F-Pace has a jerky change at low speed. Is it the gearbox?
It can be fluid and learned values, which a service with an adaptation reset often helps. It can also be something else. We read the gearbox's live data and fault memory before we touch it, and tell you what we find.
How much is a ZF 8HP gearbox service on a Jaguar XE, XF and F-Pace?
From £399, priced to your car. The price moves with which 8HP version it has, the pan and filter part and how much has to come off to reach it. Give us your registration and we confirm a fixed price in writing before we start.
