Dear All,

Is it true that the pentosin ATF1 has the same technical specifications as the shell M1375.4 (only found at BMW dealers)used in our E60 cars with transmission GA6HP19Z?anyone has a comparison sheet for that?

Is it safe enough to use the pentosin ATF1 when replacing the transmission fluid?

Thanks

i have put about 1k on since my change over to Pentosin ATF1 with no problems yet. Shifts are smoother now IMO. Raj did a great write-up & research if you want to look it up.

My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny. 2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter. Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.
