ZF LifeguardFluid 8 is not ZF's fluid for 8HP65APH, 8HP65AXPH, 8P65FLPH, 8P75PH or 8P75XPH (ZF: LifeguardFluid 9) or for 8HP60 and 8HP80 (ZF: BMW ATF 8). Which BMW has which unit is not stated in the catalog, so confirm by VIN. The E70 X5 (2010-2013), E71 X6 (2009-2014), E84 X1 (2012-2015) and F02 7 Series (2010-2012) also appear in BMW's catalog under BMW ATF 2 (ZF 6-speed), so the same chassis and year can need a different fluid. The VIN decides. BMW catalog data for ATF 3+ ends in December 2019 (model year 2020). 2021 and newer BMWs are not confirmed, and dealer sites show some newer models on BMW ATF 8 instead, so send your VIN before ordering for a 2021 or newer car.
