I was advised to use Shell in one particular car. The oil did it's job admirably.
It also appeared to meet all the stringent standards etc.
Types of containers, - They tend to be plastic nowadays.
For a brief history of the company, see their website on http://www.shell.com/home/content/aboutshell-en
The company go back as far as 1833.

This product is used by many armed forces throughout the world, also Police forces, other emergency services etc.
This type of fluid contains a chemical marker, and also a dye, this lets you know when the oil is ready for changing,

Shell ATF is a premium blend synthetic lubricant, designed for automatic transmissions, and also other applications requiring fluid satisfying high gear oil spec. It is also recommended by pretty much every car maker worldwide.

Shell lubricants have developed a bespoke oil for automotive components company, ZF. The lubricant, Shell ATF M-1375.4, has been used by ZF to develop a state-of-the-art six speed automatic transmission, which is used in the new BMW six and seven series, Audi A8, VW Phaeton and new Jaguar models. Remember, this is a gear oil based on bog standard Shell ATF.

IMPORTANT!
Brake fluid is a very good paint stripper, you have been warned.
Normally,transmission fluid is not changed, and some manufacturers do not fit a drain plug in the gearbox oil sump, however, more people are now changing their oil to prolong the life of the engine, even if it means removing the sump to do it.
