Pennzoil Synchromesh Transmission Fluid
Is this product suitable for the ZF tranny? I know that Amzsoil and Castrol have the perfered product. But I would like to be able to get something local and the Pennzoil is. So what say you about it yes or no? Thanks.

Re: Pennzoil Synchromesh Transmission Fluid
If you mean be able to find locally, Castrol 10W-60 is available at any BMW dealers. ZF6 takes 2.2 quarts (or as it 2.2 liters) if I remember correct.

White Bullet,
I lived in Orlando in the 90s and Titusville was not that far. Ever go in to Longwood area? As I recall, Field's BMW was out in Winter Park. I believe there is another in Daytona. |

Re: Pennzoil Synchromesh Transmission Fluid
I do not know the answer to your Q, sorry. But here is a mail order link that I use when I'm too lazy to drive to my local BMW dealership.
http://www.velocitymotorcars.com/castrol.html I've used these guys and they ship fast/process orders fast. Tom fwiw. I used to use the GM fluid that they were selling for the zf box, but I used to change it every year so say less than 10k miles...really more like 7k miles. When I realized that the formulation was not the same formulation as when our cars were in production I switched to the Castrol/BMW stuff...but I still change it every year.
