ZF8 Lifeguard tranny fluid 1st change 160K miles 2018 Ram 1500 4x4

[stenerson]

Changed this last fall, my 2018 Ram had 160K miles. First fluid change (yeah, I know, me dumb ) Just for context I had a relatively gentle 160K miles, no towing, very little city driving. (I'm at 172K now, I replaced with Amsoil SS fuel efficient ATF) Here's an image of the blackstone report. Just for context I had a relatively gentle 160K miles, no towing, very little city driving.

As long as you're not having any transmission problems, you'll be ok

Change it again at 190k

I didn't realize that amsoil fluid covered the spec for ZF transmissions

Yep, they recommend the SS fuel efficient ATF. I've done two drain and fills after replacing the pan with a PPE aluminum pan. 12K miles so far on it, running silky smooth.
