It's fine for your power-steering fluid. For your transmission, you want:

VW used G 052 162 A2

BMW used a 71141 under their own part number

FEBI makes a 71141 equivelent

ZF Lifeguard 5
Febi Bilstein Automatikgetriebeöl (ATF) nr. 29738
Pentosin ATF 1
Ravenol ATF 4/5 HP

Automaker-branded packaging of ESSO LT 71141:
Jaguar JLM 20238
BMW 8322 9407807
BMW 3 22 2 220 442
BMW ATF 71141
BMW LA 2634
BMW ATF-1
BMW ATF-4
Citroen Z 000169756
Mercedes Benz A 0019892203
Mercedes-Benz 236.11
Peugeot Z 000169756
Porsche 999.917.547.00
VW/Audi G 052 162 A1 / A2 / A6
VW LT 71141

Another fluid which may be correct but which I have not thoroughly researched is Fuchs Titan ATF 1. It may be the same fluid as Pentosin ATF 1 but I have not confirmed this. As of 2019, Pentosin is owned by Fuchs.

Cheers,

Don

71141 just look on ebay for the best price .Dont trust the fits xk8 ..its not a brake pad . 5 litres is not enough for a drain and refill 6-7 litres. If someone on this forum is not sure and has a question thats fine with me and does not warrant a "here we go again"
