Then make sure the trans fluid temp is between 86 - 120 degrees F. Once at temp, fill pan filter until it starts to leak out at a small, steady stream. Put the full plug in. Run it through the gears a few times and then repeat the fill process until it leaks out at a small & steady stream.
I do this every 50,000 miles. Remember, the internal parts are not brand new anymore. So, you need to take extra care of things. This would be especially true if you waited 100,000 miles before you did the first transmission fluid change because of the BMW Lifetime deal.

Thanks for your advise, here in Dominican Republic they sell Amsoil, I going to call them to see if they have that oil.
Nowdays this thread should be alive because I realized that the 6hp19 is kind of problematic
Thanks |
I would say the ZF6HP19 is problematic only from the standpoint that the megatronic sleeve has a tendency to leak. My 1st one started leaking at around 90,000 miles. My current one has 60,000 miles and is not leaking.
