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 use in the past, it can make sense to change the transmission oil at shorter intervals.
- Retro fit oil pan will fit most 1955-1995 GM front engine, RWD, V8 cars
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.
