I sent that back. Now the latest bottle is PENTOSIN ATF-1, but on the rear of the bottle it says the BMW equivalent is 83229407807, not the 516 fluid. I called them back and complained,and the said it is the fluid that is used in the 335i. However, all the lists I see from BMW lists the 807 fluid for the 4-5 speed transmissions, not the 6 speed 335i steptronic trans. The fluid is already installed and I don't know what to do from this point. Hoping they will send me the correct fluid and I will just keep the car up on the lift until then.
What I can't understand is how they list the different fluids for the different cars, but can't send me the fluid that I ordered for my model, and is billed on my invoice! If you look at the order option on the left for the 807 fluid, you can see they even list it for being for a "green tag" transmission. So I order the fluid on the right, the bill me for it, and put it on my invoice, but they send me the fluid on the left and tell me its the correct fluid. The Pentosin Bottle they sent says its equivalent to the 807 fluid, nothing listed about the 516 fluid. Go Figure.,

Shell M-1375.4 is just the base stock, and I would suspect LG6 has different modifiers/additives. LG6 is thinner than Pentosin ATF1.
