Transmission fluid comparison

turboawd - excellent post, thanks.
Like rctmthouse I also have a slightly wet transmission sump but no evidence of where it is coming from...however the oil is definitely clean Shell ATF 1375.4 (ZF Lifeguard 6) as shown above which is very helpful. It's clean because I had the gearbox oil and sump changed recently...

I guess i better change the fluid in my e90 since i just hit 80k. I always thought it was strange when the SA told me it never gets changed like its some magical fluid in their transmissions. Thanks for the post turboawd!

Notice in the other thread you stated your car has 120k miles, I would definitely do it unless you really believe the lifetime fluid theory from BMW. It was a good learning experience for me. Was not into fixing my own car before owning the E60 but since I own it, it's like a got the DIY bug. Scary but the satisfaction afterward is worth it.
