Have they just decided themselves it's approved with no approval from zf themselves?Yes, there is no oil appart from LG6 which is approved by ZF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoundrels!GW would have conducted their own testing so they feel it is ok to use and are willing to put their products credibility on the line,which is great but does not mean that they would have done the same amount of testing that ZF has done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
