UFI launches new automatic transmission oil filter range

UFI, a global leader in filtration and thermal management solutions, as well as green hydrogen launched a new range of oil filters for automatic transmissions at Automechanika Frankfurt recently.

The initial range comprises 48 part numbers covering approximately 60 per cent of the European vehicle parc fitted with automatic gearboxes.

Together these offer around 7,000 applications across nearly 60 million cars, including those of leading automotive brands such as Audi, BMW, Citroën, Ford, Mercedes-Benz, Opel and Peugeot.

UFI aims to extend this to 70 per cent coverage of the vehicle fleet by the end of 2026, and 90 per cent coverage in 2027.

The range of 48 part numbers includes various types of transmission filters: pressure filters, suction filters and complete kits containing all the necessary components, each of which is identified by its own part number.

Where indicated in the original equipment specifications, the complete kits may include the transmission oil suction filter, the pressure filter, the gasket, the drain plug and any other components required to carry out maintenance operations correctly.

The company’s oil filters for automatic transmissions are available to the aftermarket under the UFI and SOFIMA brands.
