It was that at 6.00 vs Royal Purple 15.00 a quart. Used a total of 8 qrts. I did drain as much fluid out if the torque converter as I could. I can only assume there was still a qrt in there. I started at 7am and was done 7pm today with the help of and old friend. Thanks again for the pointers. It runs great. Time will only tell how well I did.

Ok, so let me get this straight, you spent 12 hours wrestling with the transmission rebuild and then you throw in some generic fluid that Valvoline says is ok (but it doesn't meet the ZF specs or it would have said it meets them). "No bartender, I don't care what's in my drink, just pour in that equivalent stuff..." 
I don't get it. ZF Lifeguard oil is available from online vendors (I got mine from the California Transmission Supply Company). Why put in generic oil after all that work?
