Notes:
- Due to the many factors influencing the service life of transmissions in individual operation, ZF recommends an oil change after 150,000 km for its transmission. In operating conditions with high temperatures and loads, or with unknown vehicle us in the past, it can make sense to change the transmission oil at shorter intervals.

Not for use in pollution-controlled vehicles or in dry sump applications. - BluePrint Engines Recommends Air Intake Kit BPPLS01013 to ensure correct MAF calculations and Dyno calibration are maintained with the provided ECU / tuning.
