Lubrication and Oil Requirements
Lubrication and Oil Requirements
Transmission fluids are not all alike and, more importantly, are not interchangeable with each other. Each transmission needs a specific type of transmission fluid to operate properly. The use of incorrect transmission fluid may cause extensive damage to internal parts of the transmission and may bring the transmission right back to your shop.
The use of correct transmission fluid will increase the life of the transmission and can also reduce some friction between you and your customer. Please see attached the oil reference guide for 4-speed & 5-speed automatic transmissions. For the oil capacity refer to the vehicle owner's manual.
ZF offers the complete line of ZF recommended lubricants for ZF passenger car automatic transmissions. Please check out the oil reference guide for details abut the transmission oil, the differential oil, the transfer case oil, and the transfer case additive.
Contact your preferred ZF Parts passenger car transmission distributor to find out more about lubrication and other ZF Parts kits, spare parts, and technical literature.
