Gear box oil change

Post by ics3s » Mon Aug 26, 2019 7:33 pm

Changed the gearbox oil (the gravity method, only what falls when you remove the filter cover, they dont recomend flush method) today at a certified ZF partener. After 2 hours of city and highway driving i had no problems. Also did some puls from stand still and rolling in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th until rev limit and i had no slips. Car has 98k km (60k miles).

Exact gearbox name is ZF 8HP55A HIS (1087 034 xxx)

It's an 8HP55 as ratified by ZF when I bought a service kit directly from them

I had a full flush done at 50k miles. I am at 720HP and covered another 7k miles since with no issues, box was so much better after the flush.
