I've read in several places that front drive units ending in -J or later use Dexron VI, but it is impossible to get to the part number tag on my front DU. Does anyone know when the switch was made to Dexron VI for the front units or how I can find out what DU my P100D has? Do ALL P100D's possibly use Dexron VI in both drives??
Thanks in advance for any help! Trying to change fluid tomorrow as an initial flush to get rid of any break-in
metals.
My SC told me today that pre-June 2016 Teslas have the -F front gearboxes and require the Mobil Oil and post June 2016 Teslas have the -J front gearboxes and use Dexron VI. I changed both gearbox lubricants today. The rear was simple but the front is a pain in the ass. Lots and lots of panels to remove and then there is a Velcro attached motor cover that is a bear! The service manual shows doing everything from the top but I just don't see it. I removed the frunk compartment and all the lover covers and panels. Took me all day!
