ZF Transmission filters

[birdshill123]

I want to change the tranny oil and the filter in our 88 FC ( ZF
transmission. I have 2 questions.: I think the filter is a ZF
4139298038. Where can I obtain one?? How much ATF will I need? My Blue
Box says the capacity is 47 quarts but obviously you cannot drain much
of the oil. I seem to recall a post some time ago where it was listed
as 5 gallons. Any help appreciated.

Bruce,
I just had my ZF filter changed yesterday at our local Peterbilt
dealer, I know they used a 5 gallon pail of Dextron but I don't have
the filter number with me it is on the bus in storage. If we don't get
the 9" snow storm tonight I'll ride by the bus tomorrow and check my
receipt for the filter number.

You are right on the ZF # & the 5 gal is right to. I get mine from
Precision Transmission in Colmar, PA Phone 215- 822-8300 I have
also got them from Harbor Diesel and Equipment in Long Beach, CA
Phone 562-591-5665 The only way you can get more fluid out is by
draining the cooler.

I found that filter online made by Fleetguard ( Cummins) for around
$28.00. Someone told me it sells for over $50.00 Youch!! Is that
correct?? Thanks

I almost forgot: Where did you get the pan gasket? Or did you reuse
the old one?

No need to remove the pan , just a plug and the filter, I used the
real German filter, about $35/40. filter gasket included. It is a mesh
screen some just wash it out with fuel.
Service centers locations at http://www.zf.com.
Or try this cut and paste.

Drains just under 5 gallons, Holds a total of about 8 gallons This is
the only instance, that I have ever used synthetic, Castrol,
Transydn. about $35/gallon. Hopeing this handles the heat better.
Wait two years and changed it again, now mostly Synthetic.
