How do I change the transmission oil, filter and what kind of transmission oil do i need. Oh yeah, it's a 93 740iL. I figured out how to change the regular oil and filter, the filter took me a while. Why don't they put the filters where everyone else put's them.
Also is there a dip stick for the transmission fluid? the dealer told me there was'nt one, and told me when it get's stuck in a gear, bring it by and we'll change the fluid. It has been shifting rough from 3rd to 4th gear and i don't think the fluid has been changed in a while.
Your car has has lifetime transmission fluid. You have to put the right stuff or your tranny will fail. One more thing, the fluid is going to cost you alot. I just had my tranny serviced ($450) on my 840ci.
