Description

There is no need to discard the filter pan assembly every time you service your ZF 8-speed transmission. PPE has engineered an exclusive removable and replaceable fluid filter with a permanent cast aluminum replacement pan, eliminating the high cost of regularly replacing the factory pan. Now simply drain fluid, remove the pan, replace the filter and reinstall.

Holding 1.0 quarts of extra fluid, the high-strength aluminum features external cooling fins for optimal heat dissipation and a high-powered Neodymium magnet equipped drain plug that keeps harmful ferrous metal contaminants out of the transmission internals. Cooler fluid lubricates better, helping increase transmission service life and reduce service costs.

Features

• Premium A356.0-T6 heat-treated cast aluminum alloy, a high-strength, thermally conductive material
• Precision-cast using permanent steel molds for a smooth, consistent finish and high dimensional accuracy
• Increases fluid capacity by 1 quart for higher thermal capacity
• Tall 3/4-inch external fins improve heat dissipation, lower transmission fluid temperature, and increase impact resistance
• Half-inch internal baffles enhance heat absorption and minimize fluid sloshing
• External fins and internal baffles work together to form an ultra-strong Cross-Bracing structure
• 304 Stainless steel drain plug with built-in high temperature rated neodymium magnet and Viton O-ring
• Equipped with a 1/8-inch NPT port with pre-installed NPT plug
• Integrated filter supports ensure proper filter placement
• Compatible with OEM gasket and steel collars

Notes

• PPE SKU 228053000 and 228053400 are both compatible with the ZF 8-speed transmissions with a plastic pan, and both work with the factory rubber gasket and steel collars for a precise fitment.
• The two pans have different depths and capacity gains: 228053000 adds 2.0 quarts for maximum thermal capacity, while 228053400 adds 1.0 quart for better clearances.
• The ZF 8-speed is seen on a wide range of vehicles including certain BMW/Land Rover/Jaguar models; this pan is compatible with many 2013-2018 BMW 2/3/4/5/6/7 series and X3/X4/X5/X6 SUVs.
• Jeep/Dodge OEM equivalent part # 68225344AA.
