While most of the fluid we make is still for the 42RLE 4 speed and the NAG1 W5A580 5 speed, we also do make the new ZF 8 speed QuantumBlue fluid replacement as well.
We recently replaced the 10 quarts of fluid and provided the pan filter assembly along with the appropriate bolts to one of our customers Shawn who has a 2012 Dodge Charger with almost 90k miles on it. We suggested to replace the fluid and pan filter assembly and decided to take pictures this time for the forum reference. Remember that on the ZF 8 speed transmissions, the pan/filter assembly is removed from the vehicle and thrown away. The filter is integral with the pan!
I thought it would be a good thing to show people what these look like if you haven't seen them yet! Remember that these units and fluids are in the new Audi and BMW vehicles as well. We provide a much better ZF Lifeguard Replacement fluid for BMW. The want $98.30 for the Lifeguard Fluid in the BMW and Audi!!! We can do it for $14.95 per quart. Best Replacement fluid for the Lifeguard fluid from BMW and Audi! We get calls from them as well!
10 Quarts of trans fluid for the flush:
Labels:
External of the pan/filter assembly with bolts also known as a Filtran:
Hex key drain plug:
The internals are as such:
Cap with O-ring affixed from the factory:
Inside the drain:
Due to the fact that it is a polymer pan it contains affixed magnets to catch ferrous wear metals:
The cost of our QuantumBlue Custom Blended 8 speed transmission fluid and the pan/filter assembly is $278.20 for the 845RE. The fluid is $14.95 per quart in 1 gallon increments.
The 8HP45 is 282.60. They are different pans but the same fluid so that makes the difference there.
Typical from the dealer is between $35.20 and $43.95 per quart and $210.00 for the pan on the 8HP45.
