My personal advice is use ZF fluid and filter. Don't cheap out. No reason to risk it with different fluid and different brand filter. ZF knows what they are doing so only put what they put on initial fill.

Perfect response!! Moral of this on going auto transmission “myth” is if you replace the fluid and filter and the trans takes a dump, it was most likely going to happen sooner or later.
My e83 I did once at 150k and again at 200k without any issues.
My f25 done at 120k
