AKPP transmission filter — part number and cost

Tags: #automatic-transmission · #part-number

The AKPP transmission filter on the X80 (Aisin transmission) is a coarse-mesh steel strainer, not a fine-paper cartridge. It is an all-metal design: two cork gaskets (glued), a steel mesh, and a metal frame.^12345678910

Part number and pricing. AKPP filter artisan/part number: 35330-TFA060. Price ranged from 450 RUB (Chinese-site listing) up to 7,000–8,000 RUB from two other suppliers (RU market, September 2024) — a very wide spread, so it's worth shopping around.^12345678910 A tested equivalent: MAHLE HX169KIT.^12345678910 Other reported pricing: replacement oil filter for the AKPP starts around 440 RUB (also seen at 400 RUB from budget suppliers); a complete assembly with housing (filter + housing together) runs about 6,000 RUB (all RU market, November 2024).^11121314 Separately, one owner cited approximately 2,000 RUB (RU market, October 2024) for filter replacement as part of a transmission service.^15161718

Clean or replace? The metal frame and mesh itself last 50,000+ km; the friction/filtering material eventually wears and requires replacement. There's community debate: the filter can be washed/rinsed and reused, but several owners report finding significant abrasive debris in cleaned filters pulled from service, and recommend replacing rather than cleaning to avoid reintroducing contamination back into the transmission.^{1234567891015161718}

Is it even necessary? Because it's a coarse mesh strainer rather than a fine filtration element, changing it during an oil service is considered optional, not mandatory, by several experienced owners — the decision depends on fluid condition and service history. It's not considered critical for minor highway use; more relevant under high-wear/heavy-use conditions.^151617181920

Drain plug design and when to inspect the strainer (2025-07 report). The AKPP drain plug has a magnetic insert and should have a convex feature on the fitting; there's a plastic insert under the plug (pocketed/convex design) that should be inspected and replaced if damaged. The intake strainer/filter itself does not need routine changing unless mileage exceeds 30,000–40,000 km since the last change — if changed, inspect the mesh for metal particles indicating internal wear. No strict factory drain interval is documented, but a routine fluid change is recommended at 40,000+ km.^{21222324252627}

Filter identification varies by transmission variant (2025-10 report). AKPP filters are not one-size-fits-all across the X80 lineup — owner photos show differing filter specifications by transmission type. Filters listed on Ozon are available, but buyers must confirm the listing matches their specific transmission variant before ordering; testing/fitment confirmation on the owner's own transmission is recommended rather than assuming compatibility.^282930313233

Independent re-confirmation of the KNECHT/MAHLE HX169KIT (2026-03 report). In a separate transmission-fluid discussion, a community member again recommended the KNECHT/MAHLE HX169KIT filter kit (includes pan gasket) as the correct AKPP filter+gasket combo, sourced from autorus.ru — corroborating the MAHLE HX169KIT equivalent noted above.³⁷

Alternate cross-referenced filter part number — SM-24347566358/Sumomoto (2026-06 report). A separate community-reported filter part number: SM-24347566358 (Sumomoto brand), cross-referenced to OEM 24347566358, listed for FAW Besturn X80/X80F (and, per one marketplace listing, MINI COOPER — unverified cross-fitment claim). This is a different part number from the 35330-TFA060 documented above — treat the two numbers as reflecting different transmission sub-variants or supersessions until reconciled; buyers should confirm which one matches their specific transmission before ordering, consistent with the "not one-size-fits-all" note above. Recommended paired with ZIC ATF Multi HT (4L) fluid, replaced at every fluid-change service.^38394041

HX169KIT gasket color and delivery experience (2024-08 report). One owner who installed the Mahle/Knecht HX169KIT (filter + gasket, in-the-box assembly, ~2,200 RUB, RU market, August 2024) reported the gasket fit well; a black gasket is generally preferred over the red OEM-spec gasket in the community's experience (see the pan-gasket sealant/fitment discussion on the automatic-transmission ATF card for the fuller red-vs-black debate). A Vagovskaya-brand alternative gasket was also reported to work well as a substitute. Confirm whether a listing is the filter alone or the full filter+gasket assembly before ordering — both are sold separately by some sellers.^{4243444546474849}

"Wash it, don't replace it" — early corroborating Q&A (2026-02 report). When asked which filter is needed for the AKPP on a 2019 X80, one owner reiterated the community's standard practice already documented above: "properly, it's just washed and put back — it's a metal mesh, no point replacing it. If you're changing the fluid with the pan removed and the mesh cleaned, then you just need the gasket, that's all." This corroborates the clean-vs-replace debate and the "not mandatory" framing documented elsewhere on this card.⁵⁰⁵¹

Video walkthrough — pan drop, magnet inspection, and mesh cleaning procedure (2026-07 report). A five-part video walkthrough documents the full pan-off service in practice, corroborating and illustrating the "wash, don't replace" procedure above step by step: (1) the drain/filler magnet collar and drain-plug bolt collect visible metal shavings/powder as debris settles out of the fluid over time — inspecting this is a quick health check on internal wear;⁵²⁵³ (2) once the pan is off, the black mesh strainer and a blue plastic drainage funnel/spout are exposed inside the pan;⁵⁴ (3) the pan's connector area shows the internal wiring and structure around the fluid-level/temperature sensor that must be handled carefully during removal;⁵⁵ (4) the drain/filler area uses plastic fitting components that should be reinstalled correctly to avoid leaks;⁵⁶ (5) after removal, the mesh strainer is cleaned thoroughly with solvent before reassembly, consistent with the community's standard "clean, don't replace the mesh" practice documented above — only the gasket is a consumable in this procedure.^5254555653
