Manual Transmission and other fluid Change

robertg · 05-27-2012, 09:05 AM

I am looking to get the manual transmission fluid and maybe the diff fluid changed on my 08 E92 with close to 56k on the clock.

Can anyone point me to a reputable shop?

Or maybe Clem can do this service?

Any help would be appreciated.

I can do it. I can provide BMW fluids or you can pick up your own.

What can of fluids do you recommend?

BMW lubricants are top notch but priced that way too. Plenty of good full synthetic products out there. I run Royal Purple in my trans and currently have BWM lube in the diff. Maybe others can chime in with their favorites. If you want to pick up your own you'll need 2 liters (or less) for each.

hey clem - do you use the synchromax for the transmission? I might give it a shot - any reason you use that over Redline ATF D4?
