Thank you for restating what I've already said. We are in agreement here.

Actually its one of many fluids that is approved for the ZF 6AT. Its just OEM fluid. ZF has given us a list of equivalent fluids, so why pay $60 per liter, and $350 labor to the stealership?
This is the list of OEM oils that ZF has given for 6AT (minus audi W-12 and Audi Q7) :

"According to spare part number of vehicle manufacturer:
ZF Lifeguardfluid6 (ZF No. S671 090 255)
=> AML Oil No. 4G4319A509/AA/S
=> Audi /VW Oil No. G 055005 A1 / A2 / A6
=> Bentley Oil No. PY112995PA
=> BMW Oil No. 8322 0142516
=> Hyundai Oil No. 040000C90SG
=> Jaguar Oil No. Jaguar Fluid 8432
=> Land Rover Oil No. TYK500050
=> Maserati Oil No. 231603"

If ZF Lifeguardfluid6 - or in reality; Shell 1375.4 - was an 11A or 11B classification then it would be listed on the relative Lubricate Class on page 4 or 5 of List of lubricants TE-ML 11
