Meanwhile i'll try the NAPA D III that i picked up yesterday with acetone to make my WMP and see how that does, once i get an answer back from motorpsaresdirect or autosparesdirect (same seller, two identities, can't remember which i asked now) about the ATF-U i'll either order enough for a part change in both cars which will leave me some over and maybe get a litre bottle of the NAPA Auto-Trans MV which is also allegedly Z-1 compatible and see how that performs in the engine before committing to using it in the gearbox.

Dave,
This is what was advertised on eBay, although it is not the same seller. I cannot find the advert by the seller I bought from.

This is what I received:



and this is the invoice:





There is no mention anywhere on the bottle of this being Fully Synthetic.
I now see that Motor World are advertising Carlube Driveline ATF-U as fully synthetic. But is it?
There is a description of the fluid within the eBay advert which describes it as "carefully blended from synthetic base stocks” but does that mean that it is fully synthetic. If it does, why are the words “Fully Synthetic” no longer on the packaging?
Re you comment about Honda ATF Z-1. Honda Z-1 is mentioned in the specification text on the back of the bottle.

I've sent a question to the seller via eBay but have not yet received a reply and I'm considering contacting Tetrosyl.

No need to contact Tetrosyl Ian :

From the Carlube site that can be found via Tetrosyl or directly using that address. Definitely fully synthetic!

Thanks for confirming it still says Honda Z-1 on there too!
