In this video I show step-by-step how to service your ZF 8HP70 8-Speed Automatic transmission in your Dodge RAM.

This is claimed to be a "lifetime" fluid but a quick search will show you that many other companies such as BMW use this transmission as well and do regular oil change services just like any other transmission.

ZF, the manufacture of this transmission recommends that oil changes be done as early as 80,000 km and 120,000 km, or 8 years, depending on the load. This should be done sooner if more rigorous duty (towing, aggressive driving, etc).

5-, 6-, 8- and 9-speed as well as 4HP20 automatic transmissions: ZF 5-, 6-, 8- and 9-speed as well as the ZF 4HP20 automatic transmissions are filled maintenance-free with specially developed partially synthetic ATF oils. Maintenance-free fills are intended for normal operating conditions. Especially driving at very high operating temperatures can result in accelerated aging or increased wear of ATF oils. It is recommended, in the event of severe operating conditions, such as:
- frequent highway driving in top speed range
- offensive, sporty driving style
- frequent trailer operation, being above average

oil purification (oil change) on automatic transmissions is recommended between 80,000 km and 120,000 km, or 8 years, depending on the load. In each case, only released ATF oil may be used for oil changes. And oil changes must be performed in accordance with the relevant specifications.
