ZF 2098.240.017 OIL TANK | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 2098.240.017 OIL TANK is a critical hydraulic reservoir engineered for ZF heavy-duty transmissions used in construction machinery. This OEM genuine part stores and supplies pressurized oil to the transmission’s lubrication and cooling circuits, ensuring consistent gear engagement and thermal regulation. Positioned externally on the transmission housing, it integrates directly with the hydraulic pump and filter system. The SKU 2098.240.017 is a direct replacement for original equipment, guaranteeing precise fitment and material integrity under high-vibration environments. Without a properly sealed oil tank, the entire drivetrain risks starvation, leading to accelerated wear on components like the 2098109041: DIFFERENTIAL and the 2098110053: P.T.O. SHAFT.

Symptoms of Failure

• Visible oil leaks around the tank seam or mounting flange: Cracks or gasket degradation cause fluid loss, leading to low pressure warnings and erratic shifting.
• Transmission overheating during extended operation: A compromised tank reduces oil volume, impairing heat dissipation and causing thermal runaway in the 0635332034: BALL BEARING assemblies.
• Gear slipping or delayed engagement under load: Insufficient oil supply starves the clutch packs, resulting in hesitation or sudden disengagement when moving heavy loads.
• Foaming or aerated oil on the dipstick: Air ingress through a cracked tank reduces hydraulic efficiency, often accompanied by whining noises from the pump.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This oil tank is designed for ZF WG180, WG200, and WG210 series transmissions commonly found in wheel loaders, excavators, and telehandlers. It also fits select models of the ZF Ecomat 4HP and 5HP series used in off-highway machinery. For proper installation, verify the tank’s port alignment with your transmission’s hydraulic block. Always replace the tank gasket and inspect the 2098310099: P.T.O. SHAFT for wear when servicing this component.
