Q: What happens if I don't fit a genuine ZF Parts oil filter?
A: We always recommend fitting genuine ZF products. Genuine ZF Parts oil filters are produced to the same quality as ZF transmission units. They are designed to accurately meet the high flow and pressure requirements of the transmission. Using a genuine filter will help to keep your vehicle on the road and to perform in a consistently economic manner.
Tests on "copy-parts" have shown that they are often unable to match the capacity and cleaning ability of the genuine article, including a superior by pass valve integrated into select filters.
What can happen if you choose a copy part?
- Transmission wear increases
- Performance is reduced
- Contamination levels increase
- Transmission life is reduced
- Risk of major failure with resulting downtime
Remember! The vehicle manufacturer fits the genuine part - shouldn't you?!
Q: Must I use only Genuine ZF Parts?
A: Genuine ZF Parts are produced to the same high quality as ZF transmission units and this helps keep your vehicle on the road, upholds its value, and, by no means least, helps it perform in a consistently economical manner.
This is why we cannot accept anything less than the specified material quality and production tolerances. To do so would adversely affect the operation and service life of your transmission.
It is often seemingly minor differences that have a critical effect on the service life of a component.
