Hi, Ive just finished completely rebuilding my ZF 4hp18FLA out of my 94 Audi 100 quattro wagon.
Based off the 11A/11B approvals on the ZF TE-ML 11 that I originally looked at, and all the research I did, I was going to go with Pentosin ATF1 in the trans. I just looked at the newest TE-ML 11 a few days ago, and Pentosin ATF1 has lost the 11B approval. Fuchs Titan ATF1 now has the 11B approval. I talked to Fuchs (they own Pentosin) and they said that Pentosin is now being sold only in the US, so it doesnt qualify for ZF's global approval anymore. He sent me both product data sheets.
I have both of these fluids available to me, Im pretty confident that they are both great, but they have different specs, was hoping someone could tell me if there is enough difference between them to make one an obvious better choice.. I only have basic understanding of transmission fluid specs.
