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?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot only will servicing your transmission increase its service life but it will also ensure that it continues to perform its best. Signs that your transmission can benefit from a drain and fill service include laggy shifts, sloppy shifts, or extra loud operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit is designed to perform a basic drain and fill service which will remove old transmission fluid sitting in the oil pan and filter. It will not remove automatic transmission fluid from the torque converter like a transmission flush machine would. We do not recommend using a flush machine on these transmissions as a flush service can easily damage the transmission if performed improperly. A drain and fill service is the safest transmission service you can perform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZF's service recommendation for the 8HP transmission is 8 years\/80,000KM (50,000 miles) or whichever comes first. This recommendation supersedes BMW's \"lifetime\" service rating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTransmission Service Kit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTransmission Service Kit Failure Symptoms\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhining noise from the transmission pump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDriveability and shift quality issues including harsh shifts, delayed shifts, or no gear engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKit Includes the following:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Oil pan with filter, genuine ZF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7L Genuine ZF fluid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePan bolts and fill plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"ZF","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42272122372162,"sku":"24118612901KT","price":900.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0583\/4414\/4962\/files\/KIT-24118612901KT_1024x1024_39b76f35-f821-4d26-914a-56efeeabcade.webp?v=1751235819"},{"product_id":"bmw-8hp-automatic-transmission-fluid","title":"ZF8 Lifeguard 8 Automatic Transmission Fluid (1 Liter)","description":"\u003ch3\u003eProduct Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"extended__brandDetails\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZF Lifeguard 8 transmission fluid 1L\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypically, you would need 7L to flush out the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout ZF\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/info.fcpeuro.com\/zf\"\u003eZF\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eFriedrichshafen AG, also known as ZF Group, and commonly abbreviated to ZF (ZF = \"Zahnradfabrik\" = \"Gear Factory\"), is a German car parts maker headquartered in Friedrichshafen, in the south-west German region of Baden-Württemberg.
