ZF Lifeguard 8 Automatic Transmission Fluid – ZF8

The ZF Lifeguard Fluid product line comprises a series of high-performance synthetic oils designed exclusively for ZF automatic car transmissions. Specifically formulated for ZF automatic 5-speed, 6-speed, and 8-speed transmissions, these fluids undergo rigorous testing to ensure optimal transmission performance.

The use of ZF Lifeguard Fluid is essential for maintaining maximum transmission efficiency. The precisely matched oils not only minimize wear on heavily loaded components but also contribute to an extended service life. Whether in the production or remanufacture of transmissions, ZF Lifeguard Fluid is a critical component and must be employed in repair scenarios.

For transmissions experiencing thermal stress, performing oil regeneration and an oil-filter change beyond 100,000 km yields positive results in terms of service life and value. This maintenance not only enhances the longevity of the automatic transmission but also restores the original shifting comfort. Deviating from the use of ZF Lifeguard Fluid and opting for alternative oils often leads to premature transmission failure.

Key features of ZF Lifeguard Fluid include:

• Specifically formulated transmission fluids designed exclusively for ZF automatic transmissions.
• Reduced material wear and smoother shifting operations due to consistent friction behavior.
• Decreased vibration through controlled slip of the converter lockup clutch.
• Maximum sound dampening achieved by low viscosity.
• Enhanced lubricating film stability across all performance and temperature ranges.
• Improved fuel economy, leading to a significant reduction in fuel consumption and emissions.
