Product Information
This genuine BMW transmission oil pan and filter assembly is designed for 8HP automatic transmissions and includes all essential components required for a complete and proper service.
Although BMW advertises automatic transmission fluid as a "lifetime fill," regular servicing is critical to maintain proper lubrication, cooling, and long-term transmission reliability. Over time, fluid degrades due to heat and contamination, which can negatively impact shift quality and internal component protection.
This assembly includes the oil pan with integrated drain plug, oil pan gasket, transmission filter, fill plug, and oil pan mounting bolts, providing a complete solution for transmission servicing.
ZF recommends servicing 8HP transmissions every 8 years or 80,000 km (50,000 miles), whichever comes first, to maintain optimal performance and durability.
The integrated transmission filter helps prevent harmful debris from entering the valve body, solenoids, and fluid passages. Contamination in these areas can lead to delayed shifts, harsh shifting, or in severe cases, loss of gear engagement. Replacing the oil pan and filter assembly at regular intervals helps ensure consistent transmission performance and longevity.
