Anyone running Pentosin ATF 8 in their transmissions?

Will be doing a drain and fill on my F30 in the next couple of weeks and was going to go with the Pentosin ATF 8 fluid since I can source it easily for just under $16 a liter (cad). Don't see too much talk about the Pentosin ATF 8 fluid with the F30 ZF transmissions, but I thought they made the lifeguard 6 fluid.

Anyone running this fluid? Or have a good source for lifeguard fluid around Vancouver?

Excellent fluid. Pentosin is oldest fluid OE supplier to German manufacturers. Serious stuff.

It's not widely available on shelves in the US.
