  2. I have fitted these on 2 cars and are great. Next oil change you dont need to drop the pan. Use this kit as it has the better gasket. Same as posted just better gasket. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ford-non-genuine-ZF-6HP26-6-Spd-Automatic-Trans-Steel-Sump-pan-Conversion-kit/201433334380?hash=item2ee65cc26c:g:r4YAAOSwFnFV~g1v Also change mechatrons unit, as pan has to be dropped if it starts leaking. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ZF-6hp26-ford-bmw-Automatic-Transmission-Mechatronic-Plug-Sleeve-six-speed-OE/191650661670?hash=item2c9f450526:g:Ow4AAOSwDNdVvfsE I would suggest getting the Gulf western. Penrite doesnt have a good track record for ZF oil. If your car hasnt done a lot of Ks say 100k, buy 20L GW, drop the oil and pan , fit mechatronics, install new pan , gasket, filter and mechatronics unit. Then after 1000ks drop oil and refill. Then wait 50k and repeat. After another 100k change the filter. If you car has done many Ks I recommend a flush.. Oil Capacity Dry Fill Capacity – 9.4 Litres (Not including Cooling System) Service Fill Capacity – 4.5 Litres (Give or take 1/2 Litre) Cooling System Capacity 0.5 – 1.5 Litre (Depending on Setup) Fluids which cause Damage Penrite ATF SYN Automatic Transmission fluid was recommended for this transmission however in December 2010 Penrite released a statement to all customers stating that ATF SYN would no longer cover this transmission. Some workshops who continued to used the oil have reported the industry where it caused clutch squawk on shifting. (Download a PDF Version of Penrite’s Statement Here PENRITE ATF DEVELOPMENTS)

  3. You can buy this (below) and get some gulf western SYN-TS 20L for around a $150 if you search around distributors. Then just pay a transmission place to do it and you supply parts. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ford-non-genuine-ZF-6HP26-6-Spd-Automatic-Trans-Steel-Sump-pan-Conversion-kit-/191480556178

  4. Yeah, was pretty busy there this weekend. Oh nice, nice little area of the world for her to live in. Ran out of time to check out Ducketts unfortunately, but did have dinner at Boston Brewery last night and that was pretty great! Their ginger beer is amazing - bought a 6-pack to bring home.

  5. If you are going to use the penrite make sure its definitely the ATF BMV (Full Syn). https://www.penriteoil.com.au/products/atf-bmv-full-syn

  6. Aftermarket parts are usually pretty good these days. Yep, best to change filter and fluid at the same time. There are a few members on here that have done it themselves just make sure temp is right for fluid when filling (there is a proper procedure) Not sure on the penrite, I have seen that fluid and it is approved for ZF, just not sure how many have used it. I have never done a full flush, just dump and fill. There are a few on here that have though and haven't had any problems. I'm don't know the full flush procedure maybe someone will pipe in.

  7. cheers, that metal pan looks like a winner. I see they have genuine for $400 as well, compared to most places is like $600. and that metal pan has a drain and fill plug, could I potentially change the fluid myself next time I wanted to change the fluid (probably no point unless filter is changed too though I guess)? as for the oil, I'm thinking of just using the Penrite mechanic has, save me the hassle of getting the Gulf Western... I don't think there's really that much of a difference between the two?? I'm not sure whether the service includes a "flush" or if it's just a straight fluid change... what's involved with a "flush"? - change the fluid, drive for a few hundred kms then change the fluid & filter again?

  8. back in the day with the rebates, it was worth getting a system that big. Now a days it is not worth getting the biggest you can get. If you really want to work out how big a system you need. Taking readings from your meter at 6am and then at 6pm for a week or two. Then you can gauge how much power you chew up during the day. Based on that you can get an appropriate system. it might even be worth while getting a battery bank as part of the deal. This way you can live off the grid. hehehe
