Starting at $71.95, AutoBuffy stocks 5 transmission oil pans from Elring, Sachs, and SKP to fit the Jaguar Xf. The transmission oil pan seals the bottom of the automatic transmission, holds the fluid, and often houses the filter. A cracked, warped, or corroded pan causes fluid leaks that lead to overheating, slipping, and full transmission failure if left unchecked.
The main decision is material and depth. OE-replacement steel pans restore factory fit at the lowest cost, while deeper aluminum or cast-iron aftermarket pans add fluid capacity and cooling. Make sure the pan matches your specific transmission code, not just the Xf, since several transmissions are often used across a 2009–2024 production run.
| Option | Best for | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| OE-style stamped steel | Budget-conscious daily drivers wanting a direct swap | Factory dimensions, pre-drilled bolt pattern, correct gasket surface — lowest cost, no capacity gain |
| Deep-sump aftermarket (steel or aluminum) | Towing, hauling, or performance use where extra fluid volume helps | Additional fluid capacity (typically 1–2 extra quarts), better thermal headroom, often includes a drain plug if the OE pan lacks one |
| Cast aluminum finned pan | Hot climates or vehicles that run the transmission hard | Lightweight construction, integrated cooling fins dissipate heat, polished or powder-coated finish, premium price point |
| OE-quality remanufactured or OEM-spec (brand matched) | Owners who want factory performance without dealer pricing | Meets or exceeds original specs, includes gasket and sometimes a new filter and drain plug, straightforward fitment |
Drain the transmission fluid through the pan drain plug or by loosening the pan bolts progressively to tilt and drain from one corner, then remove all pan bolts and drop the pan. Clean the transmission mating surface thoroughly — any old gasket material or RTV left behind will cause an immediate leak. Install the new pan with a fresh gasket or sealant, tighten the bolts evenly in a crisscross pattern to the range specified in your service manual, then refill with the correct fluid type and quantity before starting the engine.
