BMW Transmission Filter Kits & Transmission Service Parts

The ZF 8-speed automatic transmission (8HP) has become the go-to choice for performance enthusiasts, delivering lightning-fast shifts, impressive torque handling, and ample tuning potential. However, the stock transmission pan falls short in critical areas. Its plastic construction, integrated non-replaceable filter, and limited fluid volume leave little margin for error in demanding conditions.

To address these limitations, we've engineered a premium solution: a cast aluminum transmission pan that boosts durability, cooling performance, and serviceability. Designed with enthusiasts in mind, this upgraded pan increases fluid capacity by 1 liter to reduce transmission temperatures and improve long-term reliability, even under aggressive driving or track conditions.

Built to outlast and outperform the OEM plastic pan, the aluminum construction resists damage from road debris and eliminates the risk of cracking. Our pan is hard-coat anodized in black for superior corrosion protection and a long-lasting finish that looks as good as it performs.

Our aluminum pan upgrade is engineered to work seamlessly with the OEM G8X 8HP transmission filter (24007855263), allowing for easy and cost-effective fluid service. Integrated magnets help to trap metal particulate, extending the life of your transmission by keeping contaminants out of the fluid.

Key Features:

Cast aluminum construction offers superior strength and resilience over the OE plastic pan

Increased fluid capacity (+1L) enhances thermal management and reduces the risk of overheating

Serviceable design uses the OEM G8X transmission filter for easy, affordable maintenance

Hard coat anodized finish provides exceptional corrosion resistance and longevity

Integrated magnets collect metallic debris, protecting transmission internals

Kit Includes:

Turner Motorsport ZF 8HP High-Capacity Aluminum Transmission Pan
OE Hengst G8X Filter Installation Kit
Installation:

Vehicle plastic belly pans may vary. Because the Turner 8HP transmission pan is taller to allow for increased fluid capacity, some vehicles may require trimming of the plastic belly pan, or the belly pan may need to be installed over the transmission pan where it may make contact.

Maintain the performance of your BMW xDrive system with the Turner Motorsport Shell Transfer Case Fluid, an essential component for optimal functionality.

Servicing your rear differential at regular intervals is important to ensure you maintain both performance and a long lifespan. Over time, the differential fluid can break down, lose its lubricating properties, and become contaminated with metal shavings and debris. Regularly replacing the fluid ensures that the gears and limited slip differential clutch packs are adequately lubricated, reducing wear and tear. Regular maintenance also helps identify potential issues before they become major problems.

This kit includes Genuine BMW differential fluid designed specifically for your M Sport differential and a brand new fill plug. The factory plugs include a rubberized seal that compresses over time and may not seal properly when reused.

One unique aspect of performing this service is the removal of the lower differential temperature sensor. Unlike many typical BMW differentials, this differential does not use a traditional drain plug and instead uses the temperature sensor as a drain plug. This sensor is removed to drain the differential fluid and is replaced before refilling. If you'd like to replace this sensor as well (not included in this kit), please see our recommended items or search BMW part number 33107847469.

NOTE: This kit includes 3 500ml bottles of diff fluid. BMW claims that only 1 Liter of fluid is necessary, but we found that 2 500ml bottles were insufficient. The third bottle included also allows for a minor flush of the old differential fluid before refilling.

BMW Automatic Transmission Service Kit - Level 2 - Lifeguard 6 is a comprehensive service solution that includes everything needed to effectively maintain and service your BMW's transmission using high-quality ZF components and fluid. While BMW suggests that the ZF transmission utilizes a lifetime fluid, it’s important to understand that “lifetime” refers to the warranty, not the transmission's operational lifespan. Over time, the fluid degrades, becoming less effective at transferring heat and lubricating internal components. This degradation can lead to premature wear, resulting in louder operation, harder shifts, and potentially severe internal damage.

ZF recommends service intervals of 50,000 miles or 8 years—whichever comes first—for 6HP transmissions. By using OEM ZF components in this kit, BMW owners can ensure that only the highest quality factory parts and fluids are used, keeping the transmission running smoothly for years to come.

Benefits:

• Comprehensive Kit: Contains all necessary components for a complete transmission service, ensuring an efficient and thorough maintenance process.
• High-Quality OEM Parts: Includes ZF components, guaranteeing compatibility and superior performance.
• Prevents Premature Wear: Regular service helps avoid costly repairs by maintaining fluid integrity and component lubrication.
• Improves Performance: Enhanced fluid conditions contribute to smoother shifting and quieter operation.
• Recommended Service Intervals: Follows ZF’s guidelines for optimal maintenance, promoting longevity in your BMW’s transmission.
