Hi Brian,

It's definitely not ATF, it's ZH-M, the same stuff used in the hydraulic suspension.

Available from the dealer or GSF.

soft top hard

Many thanks for that

no leaks but do you have to change it every so often as you do other oils
cheers

I am planning to change it very shortly on my car, already got the fluid waiting.

Take a look in the reservoir, it should be nice and clean and almost clear in colour, a light straw colour is fine, but if it's darker than that, then it really should be changed.

I take the view that these kinds of fluids do have an operational life, so in the case of my car, after the best part of 18 years, I am sure it wont do any harm to change it.
