Nulon Full Synthetic Multi Vehicle Automatic Transmission Fluid

This ATF makes false claims regarding suitability. Using it, means risking damage to your transmission/expensive car – I wasted a lot of time and money buying this Nulon ATF. I lived apparently in a fairytale-world, where I thought that if a supplier writes onto his product that it is suitable for something, that the consumer-protection-agencies would have checked that, so that I could rely on it - but sadly not. I bought 40L of Nulon ATF (for 2 cars), and after just having filled it into the car, I have found out in very long Jaguar Forum discussions, that this ATF could potentially damage my transmission, and that Nulon's claims that their ATF could be used ilo. "Lifeguard 6" are definitely wrong. I wrote all those technical details to Nulon with a complaint regarding the unsuitability of their ATF to Nulon about 1 week ago – but no reply at all. If they were convinced that their product is legit, they would have defended their product – but they know exactly…

And here are the facts and details:

The Jaguar S-Type 2002 - 2008 has the transmission ZF 6hp26. ZF recommends to use Lifeguard 6 (on page 4): https://aftermarket.zf.com/remotemedia/lol-lubricants/lol-en/lol-te-ml-11-en.pdf

And this is the MSDS (Material safety data sheet) for Lifeguard 6:

One of the more important parameters is the kinematic viscosity at 40 and at 100°C (call it KV40 / KV100): it's KV40 = 26.8 / KV100 = 5.6 and this is 100% in line with Shell spec m-1375.4, and this ATF has been designed very specifically by ZF Friedrichshafen for this transmission.

Now Nulon comes along and they claim that their ATF can substitute 50 (!) other ATFs. See that claim at: https://www.nulon.com.au/products/auto-trans-fluid/automatic-transmission-fluids/full-synthetic-multi-vehicle-automatic-transmission-fluid

As I did not know better, before having been enlightened at the Jaguar Forum, I believed that!

That link also says Nulon ATF KV40 = 33.4 / KV100 = 7. Interestingly, the Nulon MSDS claims something else altogether: Page 4 in the link below: KV40 = 37.

This shows, that Nulon does not even have too much of an idea themselves, what the KV of their own product is - so there is not much point in paying any attention to Nulon's claims regarding suitability of their product...

So Nulon's ATF is way too "thick", or to put it technically: high viscosity fluids move sluggishly and resist deformation, which means using Nulon ilo. Lifeguard 6 heats up the transmission excessively - with a great potential to do damage.

Nulon claims there as well, that their ATF can replace both: Lifeguard 5 and 6. You can see the KV of Lifeguard 6 above, and the for Lifeguard 5 it is: KV40 = 37. Lifeguard 5 and 6 are obviously totally different ATFs, designed to totally different specifications! If Nulon claims that their ATF can replace both of them, you have proof (again) that everything they claim has no meaning at all.

Obviously, Nulon risks damage to the cars of the customers. This is highly dangerous, too. And in the world, where I live in, I also cannot see, how that can be legal.
