Drained a small bit of fluid today.

Definately not the blue Lifegaurd 6+ fluid, but hard to tell if its lifegaurd 6 or 8. Definately filthy dirty, slight yellow tinge at the edges.

The colour of the 3 lifegaurd fluids are shown in the above link, along with the proper fluid change procedure. Lifegaurd 6 is proper yellow and Lifegaurd 8 has a yellow/green shade.

Anyway, I've contacted ZF directly and will wait to see what they say. Their parts list for an oil change kit linked above also specifies Lifegaurd 8. So I will see what they say as regards a software update.
