How often should you change the transmission fluid?

[@I_Learned_a_Thing]

Wow, amazing video. Thank you so much!

[@CS-lk6ip]

Very good video. Question: how do you get the air out when you fill the oil into transfer case by using rubber cap? I am assume the air has no way to get out if the upper fill screw is not open. So the air pressure will add up to forbid the oil in. Any idea? Thanks

[@CarInspected]

The hose is loosely fitted (allows air to escape) but the black fitting is on there tight.

В чем проблема была?

[@Thomas998822]

535xi and xdrive is the same thing

[@Thomas998822]

Did you replace the mechatronics unit, or did you just remove it to get extra fluid out?

[@CarInspected]

We ended up removing the mach unit to replace the seals/sleeves and get any excess fluid out.

Where can I find that fillet plug

[@DanHodlick]

What is the update on your transmission? Did it last after the fluid change at 120k?

[@CarInspected]

It kept going for about 30k miles and then started to slip. We have another video of the same car having the transmission replaced... its also in our channel

Take out 6 quart of oil out of the transmission an when I put in back the oil it is only 4 quart can go in it .it is coming out back I started the car to see if it can take more but its coming out back

[@CarInspected]

Did you cycle through the gears before attempting to top up the oil?

[@Thomas998822]

Is messing with that parking lever necessary? I read in the Zf manual something about securing the lever with zip ties and such, but that lever never came into play for me...

[@CarInspected]

No it was not necessary.

Where did you get the rubber piece you used on the transfer case drain hole?

[@CarInspected]

Local hardware store. It was part of a kit of different sizes. Look for rubber pipe caps or rubber end caps. Then once you find the size that you need, just drill a hole in it so that you can fit the hose through it. Hope this helps

[@11jeepwrangler]

Would this transmission fit a 528

[@CarInspected]

No idea.

[@tsystems2882]

Hey mate, I have 2017 G31 530d and recently I've being noticing some sort of hesitation while changing gears and holding RPM, also jerky sometime. Is that a sign to change the ZF8 oil?

[@CarInspected]

What's the mileage on your g31

[@tsystems2882]

About 11300km, mostly driving in the city.

[@CarInspected]

Try to have the dealer reset the transmission adaptations before doing any further Diagnostics... it could be as simple as an adaptation reset.

@@CarInspected much appreciated for the support. Will have them check by next week. Cheese mate
