[QUOTE="Mavik, post: 722578, member: 23643"] I did it at a shop outside. I really couldn't be stuffed with what AB said because my warranty was over, and BSRI completed hence I decided to go ahead with the ATF change. Few reasons[SIZE=14px] why I did the change, reading from forums in the UK, they changed their ATF and was advised to change by their service advisor there. I checked ZF's website, the company which built our transmission and they stated that the fluid needs to be changed. Our transmission is the [COLOR=rgb(0,0,0)][B]GA6HP19Z [/B](easily referenced from RealOem.com)[/COLOR][/SIZE] [SIZE=14px][COLOR=rgb(0,0,0)]Here is the reference from ZF's lubricant list. ([B][URL="http://www.zf.com/media/media/en/document/lubricantslists/TE-ML_11.pdf"]link here[/URL][/B])[/COLOR][/SIZE] In this website, they also stated that BMW's term of lifetime is basically 100,000miles [URL="http://www.pelicanparts.com/BMW/techarticles/BMW-3-Series-E90/TRANS-Automatic_Trans_Fluid_Replacing/TRANS-Automatic_Trans_Fluid_Replacing.htm"]http://www.pelicanparts.com/BMW/techarticles/BMW-3-Series-E90/TRANS-Automatic_Trans_Fluid_Replacing/TRANS-Automatic_Trans_Fluid_Replacing.htm[/URL] So with these sort of information even coming from the makers of our gearbox, I rather trust their service advise based on my driving style hence I did an ATF fluid change at 78,000km. The oil I saw coming out of the gearbox as well as the metal shavings was horrible! The mechanic asked me why the heck I took so long to change the ATF fluid. [/QUOTE]
