Product Information
You are driving around on a ticking time bomb if you have not serviced your BMW's automatic transmission. While BMW advertises “lifetime fill,” the reality is that no fluid lasts forever. Like your engine, your transmission relies on its fluid for cooling and lubrication. Servicing your transmission extends its life and ensures optimal performance.
Symptoms that indicate your transmission may benefit from a drain and fill service include laggy or sloppy shifts, delayed gear engagement, or excessive noise. This kit allows you to perform a safe and effective drain and fill — replacing old fluid and the filter without using a flush machine, which can risk damaging the transmission.
Recommended service interval: Initial drain and fill after approximately 56,000 km (35,000 mi) and again at 80,000 km (50,000 mi), followed by every 80,000 km (50,000 mi) thereafter.
Transmission Service Kit Function:
The transmission oil filter prevents harmful debris from entering the valve body and solenoids. Contaminated fluid can cause delayed or harsh shifts, whining noises, or in severe cases, loss of gear engagement. Replacing the filter at each fluid service helps maintain fluid pressure and transmission longevity.
Failure Symptoms:
• Whining noise from transmission pump
• Harsh or delayed shifting
• No gear engagement in severe cases
