BMW 8HP Auto Trans Filter Kit - ZF 24007855263

Product Information

You are driving around on a ticking time bomb if you have not serviced your BMW's automatic transmission. While BMW advertises lifetime fills, the reality is there is no such thing as a lifetime fill in anything. Just like your BMW's engine, your transmission relies on its oil fill for cooling and lubrication. You certainly wouldn't drive your engine for a lifetime on an oil fill, so why would you do so with your transmission?

This prepackaged transmission service kit includes everything required to replace the serviceable filter and associated components:

Kit contents:
x1 Drain Plug
x1 Oil Pan Gasket
x1 Filter
x1 Fill Plug
x13 Oil Pan Mounting Screws

ZF recommends servicing 8HP transmissions every 8 years or 80,000 km (50,000 miles), whichever comes first, to maintain optimal performance and reliability.

Transmission Filter Kit
The transmission oil filter prevents harmful particulate matter from entering the transmission valve body and damaging valve body bores, solenoids, and other fluid passages. Foreign particles in valve body bores, solenoids, or passages will cause shifting issues. Some of these issues include delayed shifts, harsh shifts, or no gear engagement in extreme cases. Clogged filters can reduce fluid volume and flow in the transmission causing starvation of the transmission pump. This can be identified by an RPM-dependent whine from the transmission bell housing area. The transmission oil filter should be changed during any fluid service, and it is critical to replace the filter if major transmission components are replaced such as the torque converter, transmission pump, or transmission valve body.

Transmission Filter Kit Failure Symptoms:
Whining noise from the transmission pump
Driveability and shift quality issues including harsh shifts, delayed shifts, or no gear engagement
