ULTIMATE TRANSMISSION PROTECTION With ZF LifeguardFluid Oils Modern transmissions - one of ZF’s primary areas of expertise - are incredibly complex and careful consideration of the right oil is required to maximise operational benefits such as reduced fuel consumption, lower CO2 emissions and greater reliability over a vehicle’s life.
vehicle enjoys optimised fuel economy and reduced wear on components, thus decreasing maintenance and operating costs.
Made specifically for ZF transmissions, ZF LifeguardFluid is a premium grade lubricant that headlines the ZF Aftermarket range of transmission oils, says ZF.
These specialised ZF Aftermarket transmission lubricants are said to contain a matched combination of high-quality base oils and special additives, which reportedly delivers excellent lubrication and friction properties even under the most extreme of operating conditions.

ZF says its LifeguardFluid oils support perfect shifting behaviour, comparable to the level of a new car, and vibration-free operation. Transmissions, including the transmission oil, are subject to wear, which depends on the conditions under which a vehicle is operated. High temperatures and loads – caused, for example, by a sporty driving style, the regular transport of heavy loads or trailer operation – have a significant influence on wear. This is a decisive factor, especially with regards to the unclear past of a used car. In order to keep the service life and performance of the transmission optimal, ZF Aftermarket
