Hi Sifus,

My car is due to change ATF for the 1st time. I read thru the forum and for 1st time, I need to change the pan (which cost around RM300++). Is there anything else i need to change?

I suggest you change ATF every 40,000KM and ATF Pan Filter every 120,000KM. If you see a lot of metal attach to the filter magnet, then reduce frequency of changing the ATF to 20,000KM until you see less metal on the filter. If you ask workshop, they will ask you to change every 20,000KM regardless your filter condition so that they can charge you more.

By the way, demand ZF or original BMW oil only. Do not get other brand else you will regret.

Thanks for the advise bro. Btw is it possible to use back the oil pan after remove to check for the metal chip?

bro duke...my previous e39 uses metal pan and is re-used by just replacing the rubber sealing gasket.

the e60 uses fiber impregnated plastic...sort of...and is generally replaced but i have read in mat salleh forums that it can be reused just like the e39 pan...

That price seems TOO cheap. the cost of genuine BMW or ZF fluid is very high and it is not possible to change the fluid with correct specification for such a low price, it should be in the region of RM 800.

Oil pan filter itself is already RM250.. ATF oil from BMW is around RM40/litre, so 7 litres = RM280, not including labour yet.

Hi,

the RM 180 is only for labour. The ATF and pan i purchased at BA and I just paid for the labour. Hope this clarifies all the doubt.

The bearing was creating noise through the audio system, recommended to change to solve the whining issues.
