I was right about that Aisin box in the other thread, the guy has switched back to WS fluid and he's still having issues.
I think question before that one is: Why ZF does not use universal fluid as a first fill? Cheaper, easier etc.
I'm not understanding the question. No manufacturer, that I'm aware of, factory fills with a universal fluid. Why would ZF be the exception here?
Also, why does it have to be universal? Ravenol for instance has a specific fluid, 8HP, for the ZF 8 speed.
