Nulon Synthetic is another one that's been recommended to stay off of as it is also based on Castrol Dextron III which is TOTALLY UNSUITABLE for ZF applications.There could be oils simular to that of ZF but it will always be a gamble butFor folks like I rather just play it safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
