ZF Ecofluid M Automatic Transmission Fluid – Premium Protection for Commercial & Passenger Vehicles

Purpose and Specifications

ZF Ecofluid M is a synthetic automatic transmission fluid engineered for both manual and automatic transmissions in commercial vehicles and passenger cars. This premium-grade fluid combines a hydrocracked base oil with a balanced additive package to deliver exceptional oxidation stability and long-lasting component protection.

Key Performance Benefits:

• Reduces fuel consumption by 0.5 to 1.0% compared to mineral transmission fluids
• Protects synchronizers and gearings with high-quality lubrication
• Maintains consistent performance across all climate zones, from extreme cold to hot regions
• Supports extended oil change intervals, reducing maintenance frequency and costs
• Meets strict OEM specifications including Mercedes-Benz MB 235.10, MB 235.29, Volvo 97307, and ZF TE-ML 01

Technical Specifications:

• Viscosity Grade: 75W-80 (flows easily in cold weather, maintains protection at high temperatures)
• Volume: 20 liters per canister
• Base Type: Synthetic hydrocracked oil
• Lubricant Class: 01E and 01L
• Compatible with automatic transmissions in Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, MAN, VW, and other commercial vehicles

When to Use / Replace?

ZF Ecofluid M is designed for vehicles requiring extended service intervals. For commercial applications with long-distance transport (trucks and buses operating at average speeds of 60+ km/h), oil change intervals can reach 360,000 km or 2 years. For off-road or heavy-duty mining applications with lower average speeds (up to 20 km/h), service intervals are 100,000 km or 1 year. Always consult your vehicle's owner manual for specific replacement schedules, as intervals vary by transmission type and driving conditions.

Storage and Shelf Life:

Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight. Synthetic transmission fluids typically maintain quality for 3-5 years when stored properly in sealed containers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this fluid compatible with my vehicle?
A: ZF Ecofluid M meets specifications for Mercedes-Benz (MB 235.10, MB 235.29), Volvo (97307), MAN (341 Z-5), and vehicles requiring ZF TE-ML 01 fluid. Check your vehicle's service manual or contact a technician to confirm compatibility before use.

Q: How does this fluid improve fuel economy?
A: The optimized viscosity and low-friction additive package reduce internal transmission resistance, allowing the engine to work more efficiently. This typically saves 0.5 to 1.0% on fuel consumption compared to conventional mineral fluids.

Q: Can I mix ZF Ecofluid M with other transmission fluids?
A: No. Always drain the old fluid completely before refilling with ZF Ecofluid M. Mixing different fluid types can compromise transmission performance and protection. Use only the fluid specified in your vehicle's manual.
