Mobil synthetic ATF not Mobil1 ATF 700 1989

Hi again,

I'm planning to convert to synthetic ATF for my ZF tranny. Consensus is either to go for Mobil1 or amsoil. Problem is I can't seem to find any in Malaysia. The only synthetic ATF I've able to find is is this one guy (probably the only one in Kuala Lumpur) who stocks synthetic ATF. But it's MOBIL ATF SHC. I looked up the product specs and it says it approved for ZF TE ML 14 which on the list of lubricants by ZF is for powershift transmission for trucks and buses. In small print it says also recommended for those requiring Dexron IIE.

That truck and bus thing is making me have second thoughts. Has anyone out there had any experience with this brand of ATF? Is is Ok to use in a non-truck/bus transmission and is it as good as mobil1 ATF? BTW this ATF is stated to be fully synthetic. I do appreciate any opinions. If it's not Ok then looks like I'm stuck with dexron III.

Thanks in advance.
