My goal was to save my family some money these days and do as much maintenance myself as I can. Following the instructions in this video will let you save hundreds of dollars by having the confidence to do the work yourself!
If you're looking for the most complete, clear, and informative ZF 8 Speed Fluid & Filter change video on UA-cam, this is your video. After watching many videos and searching the internet, I decided to make a video for the beginner to advanced do-it-yourself'er because I felt there were some instructional gaps that needed to be addressed.
Though the pan and filter may be different from the Jeep JL, JLU, & JT, the procedure is the same across the ZF 8 speed line so this how-to also caters to other makes and model vehicles as the ZF 8 Speed is used by many automotive manufacturers such as BMW, Aston Martin, Alfa Romeo, Rolls Royce, Toyota Supra, Dodge, Ram, Chrysler, Jeep, etc.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask in the comment section. I'm happy to help.
Thanks and have a good one!

This video is clear, straight to the point, and most importantly, includes your experience and suggestion about reusing the original gasket. Thanks!
I packed all the info and tips in there while I also tried my best to keep it as brief as possible. My goal was to make it beginner friendly too.
If the gasket is in good shape and is pliable at the sealing bead, I don’t think anyone will have a problem reusing the one like my transmission has.
An outstanding tutorial. It’s clear and simple. Thanks.
Thanks for the great feedback!
Great video man - thank you . Used your Facebook post to get here
Thank you and I hope it helps out. 👍🏼
Excellent video, appreciate it! Now lets do a timing chain tensioner!
Oh I’m hoping that switching up my oil viscosity can stave that off for a long time. I’ve been running what’s considered a thick version of 5w-30, Valvoline Extended Protection High Mileage. It’s got a strong additive pack too. Needing to do an oil change the other day and after more research on the BITOG forum, I’ve decided to try the Mobil 1 European Car FS 5w-40. Man! It’s so quiet now! The main thing with the 3.6 rocker failure issue is thermal breakdown. These newer cars need a higher HTHS, high temp high shear rating. Manufacturers’ primary care is to get you past the warranty period.
I hope the video helps you out. Have a good one.👍🏼
Great video, coincidentally as I ordered parts I noticed a whine when downshifting so my assumption is the fluids a little low. So i guess good timing.
Thank you! Yes, a whine can be a symptom of low fluid level and the pump drawing some air into the system.
@@odysseyusa Just finished my service. Put 5.5 back in, definitely the trans was under filled for sure. Much like you i also purchased a new gasket but the metal gasket looked fine after cleaning. torqued to 11nm also.
That’s great to hear I was of help. It’s not unusual to hear a whining noise from the transmission when it’s really low due to air being drawn up through the filter and into the pump. How many KM/miles did the fluid have on it? Was it considerably dark?
