Hi folks,

Has anyone tried to replace the oil on the SMG Tranny?

Thanks,
Peter

I changed the diff oil today and it was pretty discolored after 60K miles so I want to change the tranny as well.
Also there is the hydraulic fluid that actuates the the tranny and I think that needs to be replaced too.

Regards,
Peter

Been thinking the same thing. I changed the tranny oil in my E39 528i every 60k miles and I "thought" it made a difference. I plan on keeping my 550i SMG for a good long time, so do we change that fluid, or buy into the "lifetime fill" goo>

That's good info, it should be very similar to what we have.

Thank you,
