BMW MANUAL GEARBOX OIL CHANGE

[@vp5]

Your intro opinion and explanation is absolutely correct

[@GeorgeAusters]

Thanks bud!

[@narrufus]

You need to pour until there is a smooth stream of oil then stop pumping and wait till get level and stop dripping, then put screw back. Otherwise you can have too little or too much..

[@thedetailingdoctor5746]

For god sake George every time I do one job you give me another 😂😂 I’m just at the steering g arms now lol

[@GeorgeAusters]

Get it done mate😅

[@thedetailingdoctor5746]

@@GeorgeAusters Tuesday steering arms. later on in the week will be doing both guibo bushes and the centre bearing. I’ve got a funny symptom after cleaning my manifold. On cold start if I press the brakes the revs bounce up and down like there’s a severe vacuum leak but once I set off it doesn’t do it again. What have I forgot to plug back in 🤣😂🙈

[@karol2413]

Hi, great stuff m8, what engine you recommend?

[@MrOscarpedersen]

How do you know to fill right up to the fill hole? Should you not fill as much as you empty out? I guess this car had no troubles with this method?

[@grahamcartwright5141]

Great info as usual George, much appreciated.

[@GeorgeAusters]

Cheers Graham!

[@NathansBMWWorkshop]

You didn't tell us what kind of fluid you used, looked through your description and found you used manual trans fluid, most people now use ATF in the manuals it makes it shift alot better and smoother

[@mechanich1249]

Westway mtf LT 2 gear oil. Keep smiling Nathan lol

[@GeorgeAusters]

I did at the beginning man. MTF LT2 / GL4 75W80. I just use what BMW recommends as this gearbox is very very smooth as it is!

[@piovo1]

Would the redline d6 atf fluid be fine for this?

[@Mattrenz]

Brilliant video,great channel 👍👍

[@GeorgeAusters]

Thanks Matt!

[@jasontietnan5447]

Nice 1 George,definitely within my limits,well worth doing,thanks

[@GeorgeAusters]

Definitely mate. Just slightly more challenging than an engine oil change!

[@jasontietnan5447]

@@GeorgeAusters need to get one of them pumps,and order drain bung and filler bolt first just in case,another great how to vid on real important stuff,thinking about a IRP short shifter,wondering if that's something you might be doing down the road a bit,( I'm hoping) :-)

[@GeorgeAusters]

I would like to do a short shifter on this car but I’ve got to take care of the engine first. If anyone would like to send the kit out to me then I’d be happy to make a video installing it👍🏻

[@acpower2984]

Hey George, got a 08 e60, my stick shift got stiff. Have not changed my transmission oil since I’ve had the car. It’s this the same process to get mine done and will this help smooth out the shift? Thanks for the help!

[@rikki920]

Thank you for this upload.

[@GeorgeAusters]

Welcome as always my man!

[@A6RXN]

Was wondering why you didn’t change the crappy sump & filter.... then I remembered you had a manual!!🤣🤣🤦🏻‍♂️

[@GeorgeAusters]

Hahaha

[@kardan1984]

Ha haa life time :D, like long life oil which I am changing each 6000-8000 kms - depending on driving style. Anyway good stuff George, I am going to do it too so I am happy you showed me how to do it. I have service manual for E91 325 but always better to see someone to perform it before my own try :D. Thank you again my man, cant wait to support you via patreon or any other way. Just out of curiosity...is there any limit on patreon? Like can I have all 3 tiers? You deserve huge support to move forward and plus you are from UK...I love UK :), I have spend lot of prime time in Norwich, Great Yarmouth and LDN. I think my heart is still in Norwich castle :D

[@GeorgeAusters]

Thank you man. Yes very true exactly the same with LL oil! You can support on my patreon here my friend! www.patreon.com/GeorgeAusters You can also send a donation to the channel on paypal at: [e-mail]

[@damianfleming1]

Is this a F20/21 type 1 series and is it diesel or petrol?

[@BMWguru]

Hi, I have a F36 2015 420d assume it’s the same operation and just need a 8mm Allan key socket to remove the plugs? Thanks

[@robturner2560]

Fantastic video George. Looks like my clutch and flywheel are about to give up (M47 135k), I’m assuming it’s not worth changing the transmission oil if I’m going to have the clutch and flywheel changed?

[@GeorgeAusters]

Transmission oil is nothing to do with the clutch or flywheel so still worth doing👍🏻

[@remarkabllehd7657]

Hey George, would it be the same process for a 316 F30 ?

[@GeorgeAusters]

Yes

[@demirci5786]

That famous pump :))

[@GeorgeAusters]

Honestly didn't anticipate it would get so much use when I bought it!

[@engineer_josh1111]

got a bmw 320td compact manual do you know what oil i would use ? its 2003 thanks

[@GeorgeAusters]

Pretty much the same👍🏻

[@HeadshooterGTAS]

didn't know manual gearbox have oil

[@monturrahman878]

What size was the drain bolt looked like torx rather than allen also how much total time did it take please?

[@GeorgeAusters]

Both 6mm Allen bolts. It’s about an hour job including getting the car up in the air level. Obviously takes a lot longer when you’re filming 😁

[@ImSphinxOG]

Can I have a link to the pump used in this video please?

[@GeorgeAusters]

Link is in the description mate

[@kardan1984]

It can be also available in store somewhere near you. I wanted to buy it online and then found it it our local supermarket shop :D

[@VolvoXC90TV]

Hey, I have an E60 520d automatic and just wondering how often I should get the transmission serviced or what steps can I take to prolong its life as it's at 150,000 miles now

[@GeorgeAusters]

Every 60k miles

[@mjojrjr6231]

Hi Mate, amazing vids. Is this compatible to E90 318i N43 engine 2009 year?

[@GeorgeAusters]

Yes

[@mjojrjr6231]

@@GeorgeAusters Cheers... Thanks for the fast reply. I called BMW, and he was saying LF-3. Doesn't even know what viscosity is, and he only got 1L, which is no use as I need 2L.

[@JonniH18]

How did you find out the correct MTLF? On your 5 series you used 3 and on the 1 series you used 2. I have a bmw 120d e82 but can’t find anywhere online which one would be correct for my car! Cheers

[@GeorgeAusters]

I use Realoem for all my part numbers

[@JonniH18]

George Austers ideal thanks mate 👍

[@ibrahimmiah4844]

Hey George, I have a 320i Msport manual, would I also use the same oil?

[@TheHeretic435]

Rubbish to lifetime. I got steptronic GM 5 speed. Dumped original trans oil at 240k km - it was black. Foul. Pain in the arse not being able to drain the torque converter. You gotta do the oil change twice to get the 1/3 of fluid that stays in there in TC.

[@benpero6114]

hi how safe is to put the jacks like u had done i noticed u have regular ones and u just placed them over the jack pad want to do the same thing for zf8 and another thing is it safe to start the car while on 4 jacks ?

[@GeorgeAusters]

I’m not a massive fan of using the jack pads, I prefer supporting the car on the subframes but makes it difficult to get it level. I have started the car numerous times while in the air. Check out my finding the clunk video👍🏻

Hi there, I have 2013 f30 320d m sports 184 hp manual gear transmission. What fluid do you recommend pls. HELP. my gear stick and gear shift is getting stiff and sluggish. HELP!!!!
