Yup, ur mech put it correctly. It'll be nuts to run any engine oil for 25K! Try to keep it arnd 10k.

ATF shd be arnd 80K-100K per cycle. Try to change them instead of flushing..12 to 18 litres are for flushing. Our tranny only requires up to approx 6 to 8 litres for any change of ATF.

I'm currently on Castrol Edge 10W 40, not bad at all and running on Petronas Primax3

cheers

correct me if i am wrong, without flushing your tranny, i believe about 10-20% of old ATF will still stuck in the torque converter. hence to ensure 100% new ATF in our tranny, we have to flush them.[/quote]

Bro Mouse...

To prolong gearbox lifespan...that's y after my ATf change, my next round will be 50k! To change those stuck earlier and i don't mind every 70-80k ATF chg thereafter.

cheers :D
 
I haven't change the ATF on my bimmer and was told but the Jati bmw workshop in Brunei that all i need to do is just to top up if require but read that most of you guys had change yours. Just worry that will it cost any damage to the geat box in future.
 
U managed to fix yr aircond, bro? Am in Miri now, but going off soon - sorry no chance to catch up.
 
Not yet Jeff, I'm still on the rig up in China. Will only be back on the 27th Oct.

Whats the pro of having the latest software? How much is he charging for that?
 
For BMWClubMalaysia forummers with club's sticker = RM200.00 special deal :D

The latest software upgrade is to improve on many components which relies on electrical inputs i.e. transmission, engine, etc.

I don't feel any difference though but i reckon it does it job where it says to do..:D

A quick chk with AB, they charge RM350.00 to upload the latest software..
 
hmmm...I think I should speak to Ah Meng already....been a frequent customer...should get some freebies.....:cool:
 
Change ATF, filter and Gasket at Stuttgart

Hi All,
I have been going to Stuttgart because it is close to home. I think their charges are quite expensive though. Spent a fe grand last 2 months to maintain my 5.5 year old E46 325i, sigh...
-RM2,200 on a power steering vane pump and related stuff.
-RM2,700 on radiator and etc last 2 months.

Just changed my Gearbox ATF, filter and gasket there yesterday, just to check if the price I paid was reasonable or not. Please advice.

Labour RM 120
Auto filter RM 100
Gasket RM 50
Auto Oil RM 48 X 7 = RM336

Total RM 612 (including 5% service tax)

Ok ah?
 
jeff67, have u ever change the gear oil yet, I'd been reading this column that alot of the guys had their bimmer gear oil change. Mine had reach 92000 km now and am thinking of giving it a try.
 
where are the best specialist center that cheaper and afford able that can make servis and o/haul my cute bmw e46 320i.
 
Hi QME7555,

Never tried a gear oil (ATF oil change) change before but fren of mine who drives a Volvo says it feels totally different after the oiul change. Think there's been quite a lot of discussions on the pros & cons of this - do a search on the forum...

... and if you do get yr oil change, let me know the outcome... :D
