ZF Lifeguard Hybrid 2 Automatic Transmission Fluid - Engineered for Hybrid Performance

Purpose and Specifications

Keep your hybrid vehicle's automatic transmission shifting smoothly with ZF Lifeguard Hybrid 2 (part 0671.090.548). This premium 1-liter bottle of OEM fluid is specially formulated for high-torque hybrid drivetrains in vehicles like 2023+ BMW PHEVs and ZF 8HP/8P transmissions. It reduces friction for efficient power delivery, improves cooling to handle extreme heat, and protects oil-cooled electric components from wear.

• Optimized for hybrids: Manages high torque and temps up to 200°C flash point without breaking down.
• Works in cold and hot climates: Flows easily at -40°C for quick starts, stays thick at high temps.
• Full transmission capacity around 9 liters; ideal for top-ups or service.
• Shelf life: 5 years unopened in cool, dry storage.

When to Use / Replace?

Use this fluid during routine maintenance to prevent sluggish shifts, vibrations, or delays in gear changes. Replace every 60,000-100,000 km or 4-5 years, or sooner if towing heavy loads, driving in extreme heat over 40°C, or noticing burnt fluid smell. Contaminated fluid from dirt or wear shortens transmission life - switch to ZF for longer component life and better fuel economy.
