Miller oils are based on acea c3 specs ...... TBN is a lot lower.

Re: Changing ATF for E90??

What's the difference between change ATF and flush ATF? Also, my previous toyota serviced at Borneo Motors they also did not bother to change the ATF at 40km but jus topup.

R2D recommends every 40k km change ATF

Re: Changing ATF for E90??

Hi guys, i am also thinking of changing my ATF oil and filter. I understand from my workshop that the original stock ATF oil brand is ZF, which is what BMW uses. Is there anyone here with knowledge to confirm this?

ALso, as for the quantity, i was told that the ATF oil change will require 7 litres of "ZF-Lifeguard Fluid 6". Hope some pros here can confirm on that too as i want to make sure that i am being charged correctly for the number of litres of ATF oil they say they change, and also that the original brand ATF oil (ZF) is being poured into my car.

I'm driving a BMW 325 E92.

Thanks and hope to see some replies!

Re: Changing ATF for E90??

it should be zf. you plan to just change atf fluid or atf fluid + filter ?

I would be more concerned about how the atf goes in than the qty ...... for the latter you don't just pour all of it in and tighten the nuts ......... procedure different from changing engine oil.

Re: Changing ATF for E90??

I brought 7L n oil pan filter from Eng Soon when I replaced my transmission fluid.

Labour was done by site sponsor workshop but only about 6.25L.

Left over slightly more than 3/4 bottle.
Anyone plan to buy own parts to do a aft change, u can have my left over bottle.
Please PM to collect from me.

Re: Changing ATF for E90??

Bro, can share what's the labour cost to do the ATF change? What other parts are needed?

Re: Changing ATF for E90??

Any bros can help? I jus used the VIN decoder to check and the info for my transmission is stated as 'AUT'. Isn't it suppose to be ZF or something? Thanks in advance.
