Product Introduction
Transmission Fluid VIII (ATF VIII / ATF 8 / 8LV) is a low‑viscosity full‑synthetic automatic transmission fluid (ATF) developed for modern 6‑, 8‑ and 9‑speed planetary step automatic transmissions, with strong alignment to ZF 6HP/8HP/9HP designs and backward coverage of Dexron VI / Mercon LV class fluids.
ATF VIII replaces older Dexron III / Mercon V generation oils in newer transmissions that demand tighter friction control, longer drain intervals, and better fuel economy.
ATF VIII Application:
Passenger cars & SUVs with 6‑8‑speed (or 9‑speed) conventional automatics - BMW (ZF 8HP), Jaguar/Land Rover, Chrysler/Jeep (ZF‑based), VW/Audi (G 060 162), Fiat group, some Toyota/Lexus/Nissan/Honda/HY/KIA units accepting WS/DW‑1/SP‑IV class.
Light trucks / pickups where Mercon LV or Dexron VI is specified.
Hybrid/E‑AT or DHT variants exist (some ATF VIII blends add e‑motor material compatibility).

Key Feature
Low‑viscosity, fuel‑economy oriented
~6 cSt at 100 °C reduces churn loss vs old 7+ cSt ATFs
Excellent low‑temp shiftability
<11,200 mPa·s at ‑40 °C for cold start and winter operation.
Stable friction durability
Engineered friction modifier pack gives smooth, non‑slip shifts without shudder over long drain
High oxidation / thermal stability
Resists varnish, sludge and seal hardening under 150+ °C ATF temps.
Elastomer & copper compatibility
Works with modern rubber seals and soldered valve‑body parts.
Anti‑wear + foam control
Protects clutches, bushings, pumps; keeps hydraulic signal clean.

FAQ
Q 1,Can I mix ATF VIII with what's already in the pan?
A： Same spec, different brand (both Dexron VI, or both ATF VIII): small top-up is low risk.
ATF VIII + CVT fluid / DCT fluid: never.
ATF VIII + Dexron III / Mercon V / ATF+4: avoid; do a proper drain if possible.
ZF 8HP / Volvo 8AT / BMW 8HP: OEM tech bulletins generally say do not mix, flush old oil fully on service.
Q 2, Is ATF VIII OK for CVT or DCT?
A: No. ATF VIII is for planetary step automatics only. CVT needs CVT NS-2/NS-3/Toyota K313-class; DCT needs DCTF (VW G 052 182 / BMW MTF-LT-5 etc.).
q 3, how long is ATF VIII Change interval?
A: Even though many makers say "lifetime", for ZF 8HP the common real-world interval is 60,000–80,000 km (or 4–5 years) under mixed driving; sooner if towing, city heat, or shift hesitation appears.
q 4, what is the diffeence for Green and amber ATF VIII - does color matter?
A: No. Color is dye only. ZF Lifeguard 8 is yellowish-green; Mobil/Pentosin ATF 8 may be amber or green. Don't judge compatibility by color.
q 5, Will ATF VIII fix my ZF 8HP shift shudder?
A: If the shudder is from old oxidized fluid, a proper drain+filter+refill often helps. If it's valve-body sleeve, mechatronics, or worn clutches, fluid alone won't fix it - don't blame the ATF VIII.
