Is this a suitable alternative to esso lt71141?

Hi.
following on from my garage woes. I'm now feeling inclined to get my hands dirty on the FF.
My next job will be a Trans filter and fluid change.
I'm looking at parts prices at the mo.
BMW want £350 for 20L of fluid.
a filtrans filter is £70
Audi are yet to answer the phone
LR are emailing me back.
a lot of the LR parts specialists are listing bripart /allmakes which if rather not use.
I wont consider a filter from eBay, but what about this oil?

There is no alternative to Esso (now Mobil) ATF LT71141 for the ZF 5HP24 (other than ZF Lifeguard Fluid 5 which I’ve never seen for sale here in the UK, and is simply the same fluid re-branded by ZF).

Don’t be tempted to use anything else. It’s available on eBay for between £10 & £12/litre. You’re unlikely to need more that 6 litres for a fluid change.

Regarding the filter, the only sure way of getting a proper Filtran unit is by buying from Land Rover or BMW. You’ll probably pay £20 more than for a cheap pattern part but a replacement transmission costs around £2000.
