Best Transmission fluid for high torque zf8 & Adrenaline speed shift ATF experience

Hi,

Has anyone used this fluid in there transmission with good results? I was told its good for high powered cars to help reduce heat and slip. Supposed to work well in high torque cars or cars that just want better performance out of the trans. Please post feedback of your experience.

This will going in my F22 M240i which is about 600whp and torque. So, also post your feedback on your high horsepower cars zf8 trans with zf fluid results and if you think staying with zf is best. Thanks.

Here are the ZF fluid properties - https://aftermarket.zf.com/remotemed...fluid-8-it.pdf

Here are the Adrenaline fluid properties: https://www.hotshotsecret.com/wp-con...-Shift-SDS.pdf

The viscocities are quite different and there isn't anything else to correlate the chemical properties with.

I would say without any spec or chemical comparisons, the results could be anywhere from "Works OK" to "Transmission Destroyed"

So zf is the best bet? I wonder what else out there proven for our cars. I've seen Motul and Liquid Moly version but no reviews.

Well, it looks like I'm down to Amsoil signature series ATF, Liquil Moly and Redline which all have excellent reviews. Feel free to post any experience or feedback concerning these fluids.
