GA8HP50Z by ZF” or a “8-speed Automatic 8H50 by ZF” how could I find out which transmission model is in my vehicle? Or does it not matter for the fluids in question?

If you do it yourself remember that it has to be up in the air and level to run it up to temperature and then refill correctly. So you need some sort of lift or four jack stands. Here’s a great video on how to get the car up onto four jack stands.

To find out your transmission model, enter the last 7 digits of your VIN into realoem website and choose the Automatic Transmission icon. Then you’ll see the model.
