This is the reply from ZF USA:
Thanks for contacting ZF in regards to your X1. The ZF fluid would be the Lifeguard Fluid 6 or BMW Oil No. 8322 0142516 which is used in all ZF equipped BMW's with 6HP transmissions.

The FCP Euro kit is cheaper than the dealer and honestly I will go for it just to be sure I have the OEM oil.
The problem is however that:
- The ZF is saying that my AT is a 6HP and suggests fluid 6.
- The kit suggested by the FCP Euro says 8HP

My transmission is a 8 AT ZF, Should I presume that the code 8 refers to the 8 speed?
Also, is the kit missing the filter?



Thank you

The filter is integrated into the oil pan.

The 8 denotes 8-speed.

ZF8HP, 6HP, 5HP, etc

If you're not certain as to whether you have a 6 or 8 sp you can look at the documentation which came with your vehicle or run a VIN decoder.
