It shouldn't. Nulon is advertising a generic fluid that they claim works for 98% or something like that of all transmissions, and reduces inventory stocking challenges for resellers. You need a fluid that actually meets the spec, not one designed primarily for inventory planning. ZF doesn't make fluid themselves, but they do control the specification, and package fluid that does meet the spec. Make sure whatever you use is actually certified to that spec.
