5961.303.474 Oil Sump, automatic transmission (ZF OE-Spec Replacement)

The 5961.303.474 Oil Sump, automatic transmission is a ZF oil sump and filter, supplied by
CG Auto Parts Shop for direct, OE-spec replacement. It’s listed under our
Oil Sump and Filter category and cross-referenced against the brand
and part-number table below so you can confirm fitment before you order.

How It Works

The oil sump (or oil pan) sits at the bottom of the engine and acts as the reservoir that holds the engine’s full oil supply when the vehicle is off, while the integrated or inline filter strains out metal particles, carbon deposits, and combustion byproducts before clean oil is pumped back up to the bearings, camshaft, and valve train. Together, the sump and filter are what keep the engine’s moving parts lubricated and cool under load.

Signs You Need a Replacement

A cracked, corroded, or dented sump will leak oil and can starve the engine of lubrication at exactly the wrong moment, while a clogged or collapsed filter restricts oil flow and forces the bypass valve to push unfiltered oil through the engine. Oil pressure warning lights, visible drips under the vehicle, or a burning oil smell are all reasons to inspect this system promptly.

Manufacturing & Brand Authority

This part is manufactured by ZF, a recognized supplier of oil sump and filter components
to the automotive aftermarket. It’s built from stamped steel or cast aluminum for the sump body, with a gasket or sealant flange engineered to match the factory mating surface exactly, with quality control checks against
the OE reference dimensions before the part ships. Part number 5961.303.474
identifies this specific oil sump and filter in our catalog and on the manufacturer’s own
documentation.

Material & Construction

Built from stamped steel or cast aluminum for the sump body, with a gasket or sealant flange engineered to match the factory mating surface exactly. This construction is chosen specifically to match or exceed the
durability of the original-equipment part it replaces, so the new oil sump and filter performs
under the same load, temperature, and vibration conditions as the part it’s replacing.

Product Details

Vehicle & Cross-Reference Compatibility

The table below lists the manufacturers and part numbers this oil sump and filter is a direct
cross-reference for. Match your existing part number against this table, or contact us with your
vehicle’s VIN, to confirm fitment before ordering.

Installation & Safety Notes

Always replace the drain plug gasket and pan gasket at the same time as the sump, and follow the manufacturer’s torque sequence on the pan bolts, since over-tightening is one of the most common causes of a new sump leaking from day one. For torque specs, fluid types, and bleeding or bed-in procedures specific
to your vehicle, always follow your manufacturer’s service manual. This part is built to recognized
automotive industry standards; see
API engine oil service standards for the
governing engineering standards behind this part category.

Fitment Confidence

Auto parts shopping online comes with one real risk: ordering the wrong part for your specific
trim, engine, or production date. We reduce that risk by listing the exact cross-reference part
numbers this oil sump and filter matches, rather than relying on a generic year-make-model
filter that can miss mid-year running changes. Before you check out, take a minute to compare the
part number stamped on your existing oil sump and filter, or listed in your service records,
against the table below. If you can’t locate that number, send us your vehicle’s VIN through our
contact page and we’ll confirm fitment before you order, not after.

Quality Assurance

Every oil sump and filter we list goes through a part-number verification step against the
manufacturer’s own catalog before it’s added to our store, and the reference table on this page is
pulled directly from that verification data rather than a generic fitment guess. We sell ZF parts
specifically because the brand has a track record in the oil sump and filter category, not
because it’s the cheapest option available. If a part doesn’t match your vehicle once you’ve checked
the reference numbers, our team can help you find the correct one before you place an order.

Shipping, Returns & Warranty

Orders ship from our US warehouse, with delivery windows detailed on our
shipping policy page. If a part doesn’t fit or arrives damaged,
our terms of service and warranty
policy pages outline the return and claims process. We’d rather you order the right part the first
time, so check the compatibility table above carefully, and reach out through our
contact page if you’re not sure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this include a new gasket?

Check the included contents on this listing; a new pan gasket or sealant should always be used during installation regardless of whether one ships with the part, since reusing an old gasket is a common cause of a fresh leak.

Can I reuse my old drain plug?

The drain plug itself can often be reused if undamaged, but the crush washer or gasket under it should be replaced every time the pan is removed.

Is this compatible with both manual and automatic transmissions?

Compatibility depends on the specific reference number listed in the compatibility table on this page, since sump and filter housings can differ between transmission types on the same engine platform.

What torque spec should I use on the pan bolts?

Follow your vehicle manufacturer's specified torque sequence and value rather than tightening by feel, since over-tightening is one of the most common causes of a new sump leaking.
