Haven't seen too much info on the different types of synthetic tranny oil so I'm hoping some of you could enlighten me.

This is what I found so far:

Will this work for an auto 335? What other fluids can I use? Thanks.

I found this site from ZF Sales and Service North America!

http://zfsixspeed.com/faq.html

It refers to ZF Lifeguard fluids.

You will also find a distributor list on the site as well.

I was glad to find the following recommendation:

Q: When should I replace the filter and fluid in my ZF 6HP transmission?

A: It is recommended that you change the transmission filter and oil:
- at 10 years / 120,000 miles.
- if your transmission has been exposed to water.
- if your radiator has overheated.
