Like The Laird, I got my D2's 5HP24A serviced at Mackies and its around £154 well spent. I didnt ask what oil they used but they are an authorised ZF "partner".

I attach a ZF document (Edition July 2017) which lists all the approved lubricants as well as re-iterating the maintenance recommendations for auto boxes which suggest that in the case of "above average operating conditions such as:
- frequent freeway driving in the upper speed range
- offensive, sporty driving style
- frequent trailer operation
it is recommended to refresh (change) the oil of the automatic transmission every 100,000 km or no later than after 8 years
."

Not sure what they mean by "offensive, sporty driving style" but we'll put that down to something lost in the translation!
