Transmission Fluid...
The dealer didn't change the transmission fluid(6AT) since i bought the car from 2009 my car about 50.000 miles,today the service adviser told me no need to change it's a lifetime , also he told me they only change the fluids for the M/// cars only, also the differential fluid.. I didn't except this stupid term from BMW.
I feel something wrong in the gearbox but i don't know what, my car tuned since 30.000 miles. (jb4 only use map2 no meth no race fuel) the torque not too high. He told me if there's a clutch slip they will change the whole gearbox and bring a new one. My questions are... some people say u shouldn't empty all the old fluid from the GB or it will get damaged how should i drive the car after the new fluid? some say don't do WOT for about 2000 miles after how many miles should i change the diff fluid, should i empty it all or just add on the old one what's the best types of fluids for trans and diff?? I know too much questions, but what should i do i want to learn from ur experiences... thanx... |

You got to remember, BMW didn't have a service plan world wide. When they did the change it was for environmental reasons, as less oil/fluid changes means eco friendly cars.

DIY automatic transmission oil change http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=617182 While BMW says the fluids are lifetime, the people whop actually MAKE the trans(ZF) say to change it! every ~45K miles, I believe. This place has everything you need to service any ZF trans.... http://www.thectsc.com/index.php?p=c...parent=58&pg=1
