ZF 0501.316.265 OIL FILTER for WG100/WG130/WG131 | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 0501.316.265 OIL FILTER is a critical hydraulic filtration component engineered specifically for the lubrication and control circuits of ZF WG series powershift transmissions. Positioned within the valve body or sump area, this genuine OEM part ensures that transmission fluid remains free of particulate contaminants, which is essential for maintaining precise clutch modulation and gear engagement. The SKU 0501.316.265 is the direct replacement for the original factory-installed filter, guaranteeing a perfect seal and correct micron rating for your drivetrain. When paired with a properly functioning DIFFERENTIAL assembly, this filter helps extend the service life of internal rotating components.

Symptoms of Failure

• Erratic or delayed gear engagement: A clogged filter restricts oil flow, causing hesitation when shifting between forward and reverse, especially under load.
• Overheating transmission oil: Restricted flow forces the pump to work harder, generating excess heat that can degrade seals and clutches.
• Visible metallic debris in the oil pan: When the filter media collapses or bypasses, fine metal particles circulate, often leading to premature wear of the TAPER ROLLER BEARING and planetary gear sets.
• Low hydraulic pressure warnings: A blocked filter starves the valve body of oil, triggering diagnostic codes for insufficient line pressure.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This oil filter is designed for the ZF WG series powershift transmissions, specifically the WG100, WG130, and WG131 models. It is also compatible with the WG180 and WG200 series used in heavy-duty off-highway vehicles, loaders, and graders. Always verify the part number against your transmission’s service manual. For complete drivetrain overhauls, consider inspecting the DIFFERENTIAL and securing the housing with a new SPRING PIN to prevent oil migration between chambers.
