The Castrol stuff is synthetic -- GM is Dino oil. If it's a normal driver, the GM stuff is just fine. If you do any racing (especially roadracing), definitely go with Castrol. It holds up much better to sustained high temps.

You can get the BMW fluid at any BMW dealer, tell them you are a club member and it's about 50% off.
It made my 90K mile ZF6 shift much, much better, and the effect has lasted 2-3 months so far.

50% off!!! what? a club member... of this forum or of an actual vette club.

Re: ZF-6 Fluid Recomend (meyre1)
Hi,
I have used both the factory oil and the RedLine. At present time I have the RedLine in. The RedLine is recomended by Doug Rippie Motorsports. While I don't put many miles on in a year, I do club race about 4 times a year. So far no problems.
It seems that the Castrol is the hot one to use now.
