It's not mentioned on their website... maybe they just got some stickers made up??
riptide Member 733 Member For: 15y 8m 9d Gender: Male Location: Auckland, New Zealand Posted 04/01/12 09:33 AM Posted 04/01/12 09:33 AM Is the ford specification a universally recognised specification? I noticed some different companies use their own...

Isn't the relevant specification on the bottom right of the table as per genuine ZF oil.ZF TEL ML 03D, 04D, 09, 14A,14B, 14C, 16L, 17C

helbz Member 176 Member For: 15y 5m 17d Posted 04/01/12 12:22 PM Posted 04/01/12 12:22 PM Your book wouldn't list ZF specific oils it would list Motorcraft numbers ?

helbz Member 176 Member For: 15y 5m 17d Posted 05/01/12 06:34 PM Posted 05/01/12 06:34 PM Shell R128 Specification 1375.4 in your book is rebranded as "ZF LifeGuardFluid6" and as I said previously the rep who I emailed before I went out to Gulf Western and the guy out there at the head office both explained that Gulf Western payed big dollars to test and prove to ZF that the oil is a "suitable" oil and this also why other manufacturers had to remove this claim I stressed this on them at the time of picking the oil up and they insisted it would be ok and claimed that several of their Territory’s and falcons with ZF 6 speeds all ran it with no dramas. Other people have mentioned time and time again they have ran Transmax Z and it works as well even in big HP setups. There are other alternatives and you can even save some coin !

And wat power are you putting out?ZF LifeGuard 6Castrol Transmax Z (some people mention issues)Gulf Western Syntrans (no issues to date that I'm aware of) - what I'm using (stock) few members running 350-400rwkwMainlube??As far as power goes, if the fluid isn't suitable I think it'd play up in a stock car anyway. (some built boxes run transmax Z, some people report problems and switch to genuine).Plus you need to consider the trans mechanical limitations (input shaft, clutches etc)If under warranty still I'd probably just use the ZF LG6 in case it milkshakes itself and they want to blame non-genuine fluid.
