Thanks.
Motul says it is good for applications calling for ZF Lifeguard 5, which is what you need. However, they also say it is a Dexron III fluid, and ZF caution against using that in this transmission. That is the problem with fluids designed to reduce retail inventory costs instead of meet transmission requirements. I'd go with a real Lifeguard 5 fluid.
