ZF stated the Castrol fluid was causing trans failure a few years ago and some on the forum question the ability of Castro to produce one oil that meets numerous fluid specs in a single formula. Had I known ZFs position on the use of Castrol I would have used ZF fluid (although this might be ZFs motivation all along, blame trans failures on Castrol, off the hook with customers, and increased ZF fluid sales.....WIN-WIN for ZF!!!
) Seeing as the bottom line for ZF is exactly that....the bottom line, there may be some truth to the statement.
As I stated prior, went with Castrol and have ZERO regrets, pocketed the $s in savings to boot.
