BMW claims their transmission fluid to be a "lifetime" fluid, however is recommended to be changed every 60,000 miles to ensure a longer transmission life. Though not exposed to the same level of heat and contamination as engine oil, transmission oil still breaks down over time due to heat and becomes contaminated as your transmission wears. Old contaminated oil can lead to excessive wear and tear on sensitive transmission components which could lead to slow shifting, slips, and even complete failure. This is also true for the transmission filter. The filter removes metal particles from the transmission fluid and eventually begins to clog, preventing fluid from passing through the filter easily. This leads to excessive wear and a reduced transmission lifespan if not changed. Not sure if this kit is right for your BMW? Contact our sales staff with your VIN to confirm the exact part you need.

Keeping your automatic transmission fluid clean is imperative to keeping your transmission shifting properly. If the filter gets clogged, the hydraulic pressure in your transmission can drop dangerously low. Replace yours to keep your transmission working properly. When replacing the filter, you should also replace the transmission pan gasket to keep everything sealed properly. Also, order some new fluid to rejuvenate your transmission and guarantee years of quality performance. Using inferior, aftermarket fluid can actually shorten the life of your transmission. Always use factory approved fluid. Wulf Gaertner Autoparts AG manufactures and markets automotive spare parts under its MEYLE brand.
