I've done some research and it looks like a viable alternative to the ZF OEM LG6 fluid is Liqui Moly ATF Top Tec 1800

The local Australian indy parts supplier is selling this with a pan kit. And its being used in other ZF boxes.

Heres the link: http://www.liqui-moly.de/liquimoly/p...cument&land=DE

It's about half the LG6 ATF fluid cost in Australia. Might be a better bet that Castrol Transmax.

I offer no guarantees or experience though. So try it at your own risk.

I'm going to give it a go though.
Post an update so people may have alternatives. Good Day Mate!
