Greetings enthusiasts and experts,
ZF Lifeguard Fluid 8 was inadvertently used for an initial trans maintenance service at 103k mi via pan drop / fluid refill on my 2011 BMW E90 328i xdrive. This vehicle has the GM 6l45 trans. The fluid which came with the kit and should have gone in was Liqui Moly 1800.
The trans feels fine so far running the ZF. To drain and refill, or not to drain and refill. That is the question.
Also,
1. Why could running with the ZF LGF8 be problematic?
2. Would doing another exchange be pushing my luck on a trans with 103k?
3. If refilling, is a double drain and fill necessary?
Many thanks!
