Changing your transmission fluid and filter regularly will help prolong the life of your transmission. I show you the basics of replacing the transmission fluid and filter on the is GM 6l45 in a 2007 BMW 328i E90 Sedan. ECS Tuning has transmission service kits for most euro cars, comes with everything you need to do you fluid and filter.

Lifetime fluid: What we're told: Never have to change fluid for the life of the vehicle. What they really mean: don't replace fluid for the life of the warranty. Reality: Change it every 30-60k pending on drive style. Life time fluid or not.

Exactly. People don't service their transmissions and wait until there's problems. One thing I can say is once your transmission starts slipping noticeably, DO NOT service it. I know it sounds dumb, but whatever friction material is floating around in the transmission at that point is really holding the whole thing together. If you stay on top of maintenance like how you recommended, it's all good. But once you let your transmission go to the point of slight in-op, you're better off riding it to the end.

I love my Honda because the transmission drain and fill is even simpler than this. On Hondas, all you have to do is pop off the drain plug, clean it, tighten it back on and fill the transmission through the dipstick hole with 2.5 to 3 quarts of correct transmission fluid, and you’re golden. It’s why Hondas last. Easy to maintain.

If your transmission fluid has never been changed and you have a lot of miles on it sometimes that's true the metal does help if you change it it might start making loud sound and slipping the best thing is at 90 thousand miles change it but if you don't have a dipstick always take fill plug out first

There is no such thing. Component moving will cause friction and with friction you get heat. Heat causes part wear and material loss on a microscopic scale which builds up in the fluid, regardless of filters, and degrades the life of the fluid over time and stops the protection of the parts. It's common sense and has been proven by millions and millions of broken down, so called, lifetime fluid containing gearboxes such as CVT trans., Automatic trans, and PTU, Transfer cases, ect.

Technically any fluid can be considered lifetime so long as no contamination or any overheating ever occurs. Then the only thing that would be cause for fluid change would be the build up on non foreign material from wear to the components I.e the service life of the machine. Like certain types of gear boxes and hydraulic assemblies. Although you may disagree with the manufacture on how long these should last it’s technically lifetime oil cause you wouldn’t be changing the oil unless it was the end of that things service life and your trying to make it till the new comes in. Oil that is meant to be changed is usually not just to lubricant but also to suspend material to be caught in the filter or excess carbon from combustion like in typical 4 stroke engines. I’m an auto technician by trade and an engineer by hobby.

Why didn’t you bump the key a few times and have the torque converter pump out the rest of the trans fluid? That is sitting in the trans cooler,lines and torque converter

Transmission fluid level, engine oil level and any other relative should be shown on a screen inside the vehicle. Same as check engine error codes. Manufacturers try to make everything hard so people run ti the dealership every time

I live in EU. work by day as mechanic in friend shop doing automatic geraboxes mostly, (everything other is ussually my job, others are lazy and don't like to change brakes, belts, timing mechanisms etc) but to the point. Sometimes people here gets USA cars... the life time oil we know is a myth so the sticker is not even funny anymore, but imagine, same gearbox, EU or USA spec. one diffrence. USA oil pan don't even have a drain plug... you need to open it full...

You didn't remove the old crap oil from the torque converter. After cleaning and filling sump Break the cooling circuit find the out and in start engine fill in with same volume of oil aas comes out in real time until what comes out is same color as what goes in. Full flush. Temp drip as you say.

Dont remove that seal, new ones doesn’t have a proper fit, reuse the old one. Sometimes the filter will fall out with the new ones, I know someone will say “oh the filter has legs that presses against the pan and it wouldn’t fall out” stfu I build so much of these and I see it happen many times. Just take some sift wired and tie the filter up.
