ZF 0501.225.852 OIL LEVEL GAGE

Overview

The ZF 0501.225.852 OIL LEVEL GAGE is a precision diagnostic component engineered for heavy-duty construction machinery transmissions. This OEM genuine part provides a direct visual indication of the transmission fluid level, enabling operators to verify proper lubrication without opening the system. Positioned on the side of the transmission housing, the gage integrates with the 4108101174 HOUSING and the 4108201298 HOUSING to form a sealed assembly. The SKU 0501.225.852 ensures exact fitment and reliable fluid monitoring, preventing costly downtime in excavators, loaders, and graders.

Symptoms of Failure

• Oil leaks around the transmission dipstick port: A worn or cracked oil level gage allows fluid to escape, leading to low oil levels and potential gear damage. This symptom often manifests as visible drips on the housing exterior.
• Inaccurate fluid level readings: When the gage lens becomes clouded or the float mechanism sticks, operators cannot trust the reading, risking overfilling or underfilling the transmission.
• Gear slipping under load: Insufficient lubrication from a failed gage seal causes increased friction, resulting in erratic shifting or slipping during heavy operation.
• Contaminated transmission fluid: A broken gage allows dirt and moisture to enter the system through the opening, accelerating wear on internal components like the 4108301475 INPUT SHAFT.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This oil level gage is designed for ZF WG series transmissions commonly used in construction machinery. It directly fits the WG180, WG200, and WG210 models, which power equipment from brands like Liebherr, Caterpillar, and Volvo. The gage also integrates with the 0730365308 TYPE PLATE for model identification. For optimal sealing, pair it with the 0501325471 SEALING RING during installation.
