OEM ZF Aluminum Oil Pan for 8HP Automatic Transmission

OEM ZF Aluminum Oil Pan for 8HP Automatic Transmission, designed for high-performance transmissions with increased oil capacity and additional cooling.

Unlike standard plastic oil pans — where the filter is cast directly into the pan body — this aluminum pan features a modular design with a detachable and replaceable internal filter.

Key Features and Benefits

• Durable aluminum construction: Manufactured from cast aluminum instead of composite plastic material, offering superior resistance to impact from road debris and stones.
• Enhanced thermal cooling: Aluminum acts as a heat radiator, helping to dissipate transmission oil temperature more quickly.
• Reduced long-term costs (Reusable): Because the filter is not permanently integrated, during subsequent oil changes only the gasket and filter cartridge are replaced, without replacing the entire pan.
• Complete kit: The OEM kit includes the aluminum pan body, dedicated gasket, separate internal oil filter, drain plug, fill plug, and new mounting bolts.

Popular Upgrade (OEM+ Retrofit)

Because standard non-M BMW models (and other vehicles with ZF 8HP transmissions, such as Toyota Supra or standard 3/5 series) come from the factory with disposable plastic pans, this part is frequently used as a direct upgrade. Replacement with this pan allows transition to an easy-to-service filtration system and provides enhanced transmission protection.
