Hi All,
My car has a automatic ZF transmission that was filled with Esso ATF LT 71141 from the factory.
I took my car in for a fluid change and the service center filled it with Texaco ETL 7045. So now I have about 4 liters of the Texaco stuff mixed with 4 liters of the Esso fluid.
Does anyone know what kind of damage this could do to my transmission and if it's a big deal? Looking at the specs for my transmission, it says thats the use of any other fluid other than the Esso will result in premature transmission failure. I'm hoping that they're kidding. What should I do?
