Risk of injury to skin and eyes from hot components and hot liquids.
Burns and scalds are possible.
Always wear safety goggles, protective gloves and protective clothing!
The electronic components of the mechatronics can be damaged by
electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Do not touch exposed contacts.
Observe ESD protection.
Observe the following instructions to prevent damage to the transmission:
Do not tow vehicle if transmission is without oil. Follow the instructions issued by the vehicle manufacturer.

For cleaning only use clean, lint-free cloths.

Do not run the engine if there is no oil in the transmission.

Use only the specified ZF LifeguardFluid for the respective transmission! (Tab. 1)

Do not use any further additives, since they alter the chemical composition of the oil!

Adjust the oil level in the transmission exactly according to filling regulations. If the oil level is too low, the

transmission will be damaged. If the oil level is too high, the excess oil will leak from the transmission through
the overflow when heated. The escaping oil can be ignited by hot components (e.g. exhaust system).
Adhere to the bolting sequence (Fig. 1)

Observe tightening torques (Table 2 - 14).

Before changing the oil: Read instructions carefully. Check which version (A / B / C) applies to the oil
change (Table 1).
ZF automatic transmissions are filled with specially developed semi-synthetic oils.
At very high operating temperatures, the oil ages faster than under normal conditions.
Examples:
Many trips at high speeds.

Many trips with a trailer in tow.

Sporty driving.

Depending on the driving style, ZF therefore recommends a transmission oil change every 80 000 to
120 000 km, or after 8 years at the latest.
