Plus approximately $30/quart for the fluid which I'll research actual part numbers for both when I get a chance. However, change the fluid and filter if the fluid becomes contaminated (with water, etc.), or if the transmission is disassembled for any reason."Īlso, after learning this I called a local Ram parts department, not service, and parts said about $320 for the transmission pan/filter. "Routine fluid and filter changes are not required. Just make sure you check with your OE dealer to make sure you won't void your warranty."Īgain, thank you ZF, however, Ram, you're really dropping the ball here as no where in the entire service manual does it mention this. "If you tow quite often, you could adjust the schedule to 50k miles. I then asked as the truck is an HD model and I use it as such (heavy towing) would the transmission need more frequent service I really appreciated ZF responding by the way. The amount you save by buying non ZF/RAM parts in the aftermarket isn't worth the risk of voiding the warranty." I would suggest purchasing the pan/filter directly from RAM. The transmission requires ZF Lifeguard Fluid 8 or the RAM equivalent. I do not suggest using anything but ZF or RAM parts regarding the pan/filter and fluid. If your RAM is under OEM warranty, make sure you follow their guidelines or you could void your warranty. "ZF recommends a fluid change every 100k miles or 8 years. This is what I found, most all sealing sleeves with O’rings are for the 6 speed ZF transmission This one is the only 8 speed specific sealing sleeve I could find. I asked about the pan, filter, fluid combo mentioned earlier in this thread and asked for a clarification of what exactly the service interval is for the ZFHP75 transmission. Tired of getting conflicting information from dealers, I contacted ZF directly. Ram Cares, I really hope you read this and can inform your dealers what the service interval is and update the service manual.
