Oh... you can. It's thin. If the seals, solenoids, or bearings in the trans are worn, the ZF will show it.

But it's great fluid for a trans that has been regularly serviced every 60k miles since new.

I have 7 bottles of ZF LF6 on the shelf in case I ever find a cream puff Bimmer with a 6HP in it. But anything over 80k miles without a trans service is getting Pentosin, Liqui Moly, or Valvoline MLMV.
