Guys this is the PDF from ZF on doing the servicing of the transmission / gearbox.

They recommend an oil change every 80k - 120k kilometres.

Looking at the manual , I can SAFELY say that my mechanic DID NOT FOLLOW
the bolting pattern !

Additionally if you have a transmission oil cooler - fill up an extra 0.5 L.

Thanks to @IraHayes as well.
