transmission fluid part number

[a7med606]

MTF LT-5 part number is 83222156969

is that the correct 1m transmission fluid ? dealer put this oil in my transmission but i feel the shifting is a bit harder than what it was on before the oil change , and if i drive the car fast from 0 i feel the shifting is smoother until it cools down again

is that normal ?

That is correct oil.

You can also look at the 1M first service STICKY...

Lots of people prefer Redline MTL in the trans, though. Maybe see how your trans shifts over the next few weeks and/or try the Redline.

Is ATEXIO VI (ATF DEXRON VI) from Rymax Netherlands a good alternative for BMW -83-22-2-163-514 Dexron VI Transmission fluid. It is the Dexron 6 available in mine country for now. The order one is Pure Guard Multi-Purpose Transmission Oil - Mercon V.

Also when I bought mine car, 2009 128i, with mileage 37,000K, it was discovered that the differential oil was nearly dry and due to unavailability of BMW genuine Differential Oil, a local non synthetic 80W/140 was pumped in. The car has been driven for at least 100km before I now have 2litres of Castrol SAF-XO Differential Oil. I want to know if this will be enough for a flush and wither if the early local common oil have damaged mine differential.

The differential holds just over 1 liter of gear oil. 1.2 liters I believe.

Since you've gone so long on the old fluid that was used - you might change the fluid twice - after a few weeks of use.

Castrol SAF-XJ is backwards compatible with non-M cars. That's why I used it, bc SAF-XO was hard to find. Plus I wanted a full synthetic oil. Not sure if XO is ?

The above is for mine Transmission Oil change. Advice on which to use. I know that mine Transmission is a GM tranny for Cardillac CTS
