This looks the same way as doing a Mercedes box. Looking to do a fluid and filter change on my 2008. Would you drain and re fill the torque converter? Thanks in advance

@@Lee_Pitcher It's probably very similar especially if it has a ZF transmission. Definitely wouldn't hurt to drain the converter and get all the old fluid out!

Thanks for sharing the process of the transmission oil pan removal and the fluid replacement process. That made me ready to do mine which was nearing 80k miles as a daily driver. Good zip-tie use tip to hold the gasket onto the oil pan. The filling-up and after-settling topping-up procedure is such a cumbersome one, but worth the time DYI'ing. Maserating Everyday.

I’m a fan of Maserati F136 engines and ZF transmissions! I am reaching out to my favorite KZitem mechanics to start to test Mobil 1 full synthetic multi vehicle ATF (grey bottle black label) and Amsoil OE Fuel Efficient full synthetic ATF. According to my favorite engineering blogger/engine builder RAT540 who’s now torture tested at least 298 individual engine oils and recently gear and ATF. He ranks that Mobil1 multivehicle full synthetic ATF (gray bottle/black label) as his best performing oil under his unique engineering torture test. Amsoil ATFs also test really well particularly the least expensive “OE Fuel Efficient ATF” if you want thinner viscosity such as what the ZF 6HP uses. But he has stated even the marginally thicker Mobil 1 grey bottle black label will work in any light duty automatic transmission. And new OE mandates for thinner engine oil and ATF isn’t in the interest of the long term owner but for the terrible CAFE standards which “owners can never measure in the real world.” He actually says the Valvoline Maxlife full synthetic ATF seized immediately the same as Mobil multi blue bottle and Ford Mercon LV iirc. He says under most cases, OEM fluid tested usually POORLY and claims it’s just a market profit grab. Shocking I know. It might be “probably ok” as long as routine maintenance is done sooner than later, but RAT540 is usually ON THE MONEY…

So wait.. lol. Does the Transmission temperature need to be 50-60 degrees Celsius before trying to fill up or just when checking if you have enough fluid? Or errr. What am i trying to ask lol. When exactly does the Transmission need to be that temperature? You put the pan back on, you opened up the bolt, inserted the pump and you pumped fluid in until it streamed out. You then put the bolt back in. Started the car & removed the bolt again and pumped fluid until it streamed out. You put the bolt back in and then Did the gear changes ( Drive / Reverse ) and then you left car running and yanked the bolt again to see if its was streaming out. At what point in any of that, do I need to make sure my Temperature is within that range? lol. Thatll help me alot better.

Its been awhile but if I remember correctly, you fill it until the fluid runs out the full hole, then you are safe to start it and let it run/shift through the gears. Let it run until it reaches that temp, then remove the bolt and check to see if it needs more fluid or if it’s good to go! Hope that makes sense haha

The pan can fall out when all the bolts are removed. Make sure to keep a hand on it when removing. The filter inside the transmission is bolted in if I remember correctly, but it has been a little while. Just take your time and you'll get it!

Maserati says that their fluid is a “Lifetime” Fluid and doesn’t need to be changed.. this car had 30k on it and the fluid still looked really clean. The pan gasket just started leaking for whatever reason. Im not 100% sure of the interval though
@Joey4420

Per ZF they recommend changing the fluid on all of their Transmissions at 50k miles, there is no such thing as lifetime fluid unless you want to just plan to rebuild/replace the transmission when it fails. It would not have a drain and fill plug if it wasn't meant to be changed.
