For 6 and 8 speed transmissions BMW specified fluid is ATF2 and/or 3.Again,I dont know for a successful attempt a different oil to be used.I am cheap on tires and other stuff,but would never put anything different or unproven in my transmission or engine.$50 or 100 saved every 2-4 years could lead to so much doom I dont even want to think about.
s.
BMW's spec for fluid is Shell 1375.4

if I use a fluid that fits this spec. how is this wrong? unproven?
