Re: Trans oil
My guess would be the same oil the engines use but I'd call zf to confirm.

Agree with Scott. Same as motor oil.

Re: Trans oil
You should be able to find the manual online if you dont have it. ZF usually engine oil but straight, not multi grade. Could be straight 30 or straight 40

Re: Trans oil
Use straight 30 in mine; think that’s what has been recommended here before.

Re: Trans oil
What is the model number of your transmissions? That will help. Chances are one of us has the same transmissions and a relevant manual.

Re: Trans oil
Well that's the point isn't it? Someone asking for advice who doesn't break a sweat to provide the basic information is setting himself up for getting the wrong advice. ZF makes lots of models taking various lubricants.
