How in the world are you going to spill transmission fluid while changing the clutch delay valve? |

Yeah that question was worded totally wrong - I'm trying to find out what the correct fluid is in case I don't cap the hose fast enough when I replace the CDV. Have never read what BMW is using for clutch hydraulic fluid. Don't want to commingle 2 fluids that might not be compatible. I looked in the manual but did not see and clutch MC fluids listed. Unless I just missed it. |

Its clear to me no one has done this diff oil change - yet.
Does anyone even know the exact gear oil specs we should use? I'ave tried searching but have come up empty. GL4 or GL5? What grade? 75w90? What about for the oil specs for the manual trans? On my e36 323i I used Redline's D4 ATF dextron III. For the diff I used Redline's MTL 75w90. Anyone know the specs we should run? Btw... I have the Griot's Garage fluid extractor - it works VERY well. It comes with THREE dia tygon tubing - for getting the oil out of the stick. I plan on using this fluid extractor for my diff oil change too. So.... who knows the spec answers to our cars gear oil? ??? |

I just searched google and the M5 e39 forum, I found this:
http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/e39...w-store-2.html part names/numbers Esso/Exxon MTF-LT-1 BMW P/N 83 22 9 408 942 MTF-LT-2 Fluid BMW P/N 83 22 0 309 031 MTF-LT-3 BMW P/N 83 22 7 533 818 looks like MTF-LT3 is what we need. Superceeds the older spec I & II oils. Still looking for the diff oil. And ohh... this stuff is sold on BravAuto for like $170 for five liter jug!!!! OUCH!!!! |

Break-in Gearbox and Diff Oil Change

The Manual tarns uses BMW LL3. Some say Dextron-III or VI ATF will work. I would only use what BMW syas to use! ie: Long Life-3 trans oil. about $175 for a five liter jug. It sounds like you think they use the same fluid? Why would you only do the job half way? |
