But that's not a valid VIN. Must be a typo.

Re: WK2 145k Service
I think it will work fine but I would try to change 100% of it.

Re: WK2 145k Service
I think the Rowe 9008 implies that Lifeguard 8/9 are relatively low viscosity. https://aftermarket.zf.com/remotemedia/master-content/zf-services-portal/oils-data-sheets/pc-1/lifeguardfluid-8/pds-zf-lifeguardfluid-8-it.pdf 26 cST @ 40C. That is up near the "normal" 28-29. The MB 236.15 and...

Re: WK2 145k Service
They appear to have 9000 "generic" ATF and 9008 "reduced viscosity" ATF, which continues to support your arguments, but I do wonder if the viscosity reduction is at the expense of transmission life... For life, I may be "best" off with the MaxLife fluid, as long as I'm...

I'll check this at some point. It's probably fine. Although BOTUS says it won't necessarily set a code.

Re: 2017 GLS550 135k Service
Yes though their ATF says "Mercedes Benz 236.12, 236.14, 236.15, 236.41"
And ZF.
Viscosity @ 40°C, cSt ASTM D445 29.3
That's thick/normal. 236.15 and 236.17 are considerably thinner. What was it, like 18? 17.5?

Re: 2017 GLS550 135k Service
I am definitely interested in an engineering response. I am NOT interested in a marketing response. Again, on the spec debate, another thought is, if Honda and the other applications (like ATF+4, DEXRON VI and MERCON V) are less happy with Maxlife, does that mean the other transmissions are fine wit...

Re: 2017 GLS550 135k Service
Yeah if you want to get involved with all that. But this would cross way behind you just trying to more conveniently maintain your vehicles. I did think of that though.
