ZF Auto Gearbox Servicing
When it come to Automatic Gearboxes, prevention is cheaper than cure
Do Automatic Transmissions need oil changes?
Absolutely! It is the only way to maintain a pleasurable drive and premium performance in the long run.
Some manufactures advise that their transmissions are sealed for life, however we all know that in the real world even the best specification oils degrade, and what exactly does 'lifetime' mean?
The lifetime of your ZF transmission can be extended with a service every 60,000 miles or every 6 years and in our experience not changing the oil has caused problems including slow or jerky gearshifts and in some cases premature transmission failure.
Regular servicing will restore the efficiency of your transmission and you will have that” like new feel” again with many miles of trouble free operation.
