Original ZF lubricant from ATS
ZF Lifeguard Hybrid 2 — engineered for the fourth-generation ZF hybrid drivetrain
ZF Lifeguard Hybrid 2 is developed for ZF 8HP and 8P fourth-generation hybrid passenger-car transmissions, where the fluid must support both mechanical shift comfort and electrified torque delivery. Its low-temperature flow behavior, shear stability and high load-carrying capacity help protect the transmission while preserving the refined response expected from modern hybrid drivetrains.
