Dilema - Should I change transmission/gearbox oil???

Hello!

Been driving my ride for a month. An 07 E92 325.

Car is at 60K mileage and ride is great and smooth.
For preventive purpose, I've been thinking about changing the transmission oil.

Some concerns, can anyone advise? Thanks!

- "some" says after changing oil, the change causes jerk?
- "some" says don't change untill it jerks?
- Best to change probably when reaching 100k?

Can assist? Thanks!!!

I was like you contemplating to change transmission oil every 20K mileage due to spore weather, when i ask for quote from a workshop i was quoted "Original 8HP Transmission Sump w Gasket & Strainer + Original ATF + Labour = $854.93"

I was like :whatthe:, pull handbrake immediately till further notice..

Note that the quote was for my F10

change every 60k km is a good practice. And the costs outweight having ur gearbox uplorry if its out of warranty..that's 10k ok

I think better to be on the safe side. Maybe change at every 100k. Don't wait till the gearbox ups the lorry then regret. It is a small sum to pay compare to changing the whole gearbox :)

the above amount is akin to gearbox flush, cos change gasket and sump. $800+ is considered normal for F10

E60n was abt $600+ to $700

its either drain and topup or if wanna be gim gim koot koot inside, do drain, flushing then topup lo....keke
auto gear change should be sibei smooth like strawberry after doing that
 
Re: Dilema - Should I change transmission/gearbox oil???

Drain the fluid, drop the pan, re-arrange and clean those magnets, change the filter and top up the ATF should be be enough ........

The topping up part needs to run the engine at intervals - make sure the fluid goes into every gear ....

So which workshop can handle this kind of operation.... Thinking of gg to R2D to try out.. seems that their FR not bad...
 
Re: Dilema - Should I change transmission/gearbox oil???

This is right up in Rod's alley though you would need him to order the filter ahead of time..... I think. Need new gasket as well.
