2. Oil and filter change intervals (filter replacement affects only transmission with Intarder or WSK [torque
converter clutch])

Caution: Please refer to the previous pages, Section 1, tables, for information on the lubricant classes released for the
individual product groups.

ZF EcoFluid M was specially designed for applications with manual transmissions and automatic transmissions in commercial
vehicles. The combination of a hydrocrack base oil with a specially balanced additive package ensures excellent oxidation stability
and is thus excellently suited for very long oil change intervals. It warrants high-quality transmission component protection, in
particular of the synchronizers and the gearings. As a result of the flat viscosity characteristic curve, the oil is suited for applications
in all climate zones, particularly in hot and cold regions. Moreover, in comparison with mineral transmission fluids, ZF EcoFluid M
helps to reduce fuel consumption by 0.5 up to 1.0%.

4. Explanation of footnotes and comments

Footnotes

(1) These intervals only apply to a hose breather in a dry area. If there is no hose breather in the dry area, the oil change
intervals specified for lubricant class 01L apply. This restriction does not apply to bus applications. In the case of
transmissions filled ex-works with lubricant class 01E, no oil change must be effected during the first two years as of initial
registration. In case of retrofitting or repair in this period, oil refills with Lubricant Class 01E are permitted. Exception: The
limits of application in accordance with the TE-ML 01 (operating hours, mileage [km]) are already met prior to the expiration
of the first two years.
(2) Oil and filter change required, depending on what occurs first. Only use genuine ZF filter inserts.
- Intarder 2: 6085 298 026
- Intarder 3: 0501 215 163
- WSK: 0501 202 378
(3) First filling: Only the lubricant classes listed are permitted for initial fillings of transmissions. ZF recommends the oil grade
listed in Table 1.
(4) Service filling: The lubricant classes listed are compulsory for service oil changes according to the oil-change intervals
mentioned under Section 2. In case of oil changes at transmission mileage of up to 7 500 km, only oils for initial
fillings must be used. In the case of transmissions filled ex-works with lubricant class 01E, due attention must always be
paid to footer 1.
(5) The denomination „hot country use“ is derived from the area where the vehicle is used, rather than from a country in the
sense of a state.
Regarding ZF units, we say "Hot country use" when:
1. the monthly average temperature exceeds 25°C in more than 2 months within a year
2. or if temperatures rise above 40°C on more than 7 days in a year.

Comments

1. Instructions for transmission ventilation in accordance with Installation Guidelines 1203 765 110 and 1328 765 101 must be
followed.
2. A lithium saponified multipurpose grease of NLGI class 2 which is mixable with mineral oil is to be used at greasing points
(grease code KP2K-30 in acc. with DIN 51825 or ISO-L-XCCHB2 in accordance with ISO 6743-9).
3. Additives of any kind added later to the oil change the oil in a manner that is unpredictable, and they are therefore not
permitted. No liability of any kind will be accepted by ZF for any damage resulting from the use of such additives.
4. ZF will not assume liability for damage caused by non-observance of our maintenance instructions.
