ZF expands transmission oil change kit range to cover ICE, hybrid, and electric vehicles
ZF Aftermarket has expanded its transmission oil change kit portfolio to include kits for combustion, hybrid, and electric vehicles, even those without ZF transmissions.
What Happened
ZF Aftermarket has added numerous new transmission oil change kits for combustion, hybrid, and electric vehicles. The kits are model-specific and contain precisely measured oil and necessary spare parts, or can be purchased without oil. ZF also provides repair manuals and training for independent workshops.
- Conventional automatic transmissions (e.g., 8 HP)
- Dual-clutch and CVT transmissions
- Hybrid transmissions requiring ZF Lifeguard Hybrid Fluids
- Electric axle reduction gears in battery-electric vehicles
Why this matters
Regular transmission oil changes prevent costly damage and maintain driving comfort; ZF's expanded kit range makes it easier for independent workshops to service a wide variety of vehicles.
