E39 atf oil

[Herbert]

Apparently i only use 6L of oil. It was filled up while the car is in D meaning the GB pumps will suck the oil up into the GB. With that it's a complete 6L and while the last bottle was almost empty, the oil overflowed out.

Beg to differ...i got my atf oil change together with filter for < RM 400.

I bought my ZF ATF from Bavarian Auto for RM 40.00 per bottle.

Bro, I used Total Long Life Fully Synthetic on my 2001 e39 520i and after about 2 years the torque converter bush jammed and caused the whole gearbox koyak. From then onwards I use ZF and change ATF, filter and gasket every 25k km.

That was a bad experience!

I am going to change my atf this week. Any recommended good workshop with proper diagnostic tools? Bought my ZF long life atf for RM43 x 7 bottles, gasket RM23 and filter at RM 36 at BA. How much is the workmanship?

that's bad, don't change unless broken

Mine is leaking, got my gasket filter and rubber linkage parts, where should I replaced it and should I get the BMW synthetic ATF or Shell ATF synthetic will do and how many litres for ZF 5 speed e36/320/6 coupe?
