Even cheaper than Pentosin or Redline D4... GL! http://www.autozone.com/autozone/cat...ndName=Castrol

Why are you reading a topic entitled "transmission fluid choces for the AT?". Just go to your local dealer, whenever you need any kind of fluid change, and pay the price. I guess I need help with the problem you are having? can't find a local dealership? can't use mapquest? google?, or simply don't want to pay the dealership prices? then why did you buy a BMW?

as i said, tell them to call bmw seattle or ask them what are the part number if you want to buy 5.5 liters of oem transmission fluids. i can gurantee you they won't divide drums down to 1/2 liter measure and sell it. there must be part numbers for smaller measurement...

I went to the dealership today. went out to the bay area to check out the fluids. the container they get is actually bigger than drum he said but anyways i was able to see the part numbers that i was looking for, 8322 0142516, on it which also says shell 1375.4 on it. he just won't let me take a picture for liability reason he says which kinda lost me there... but anyways, yea so there you have it...

2. wayne's my man at bellevue BMW--> 1-877-411-6940!! He said that each 335i has different transmission manufacturers! some are made by GM? the other are made by some other foriegn company that he doesn't know. and thats why he thinks that they take a whole bunch of BMW ATF part numbers! . After asking him a bunch more questions, he said they were lifetime fluids, and his service department has never even used it! Thanks for the laugh! |

the guy at patrick bmw told me the part number ending 929 is generic numbers and some dealers do use it for 1/2 liter measurement but they only use 1 liter measurement. the guy at joe perillo bmw told me that part number is right for 1/2 liter measurement. he told me that there's designated fluids part # on bottom of every transmission on bmw vehicle which in this case saying the one ending 516, which is 20liter jug. that's how the dealership gets. but when they do sell it to general public they can use smaller measurements like the one ending 929 and indeed if i want 1/2 liter that's the number that they will use. he also told me that since i've done this at the bmw dealership, there's no way they could've used other transmission oil for other vehicle. the part numbers ending 929 is only for pricing purpose and is same exact oil as the part numbers ending 516. hopefully that answers your question...

and as for 929, that because it is generic part numbers for pricing purpose. its only purpose is to charge right amount for that measurement...

1 847 381 8900 sorry about that
anyways chris at patrick BMW 1 866-208-2136 just said: "you'll have to bring your own container because we only have a 20L container for the transfluid for your auto 335I Next I then called Julio, at perillo BMW 1 312 981 0000 he just said: "if you notice there no dipstick, in your car, so your not surpposed to change that transfluid. The fluid we have for it comes in 20L containers only. No smaller components are necessary. |

Yes, and you trust these IDIOTS with your 8,000K transmission? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the result of our quick experiment, two people call these dealerships with different voices, and you get completely different answers to the same questions? WHY?
