Albert100... KICK ASS WORK. GREAT GREAT REPORT. Thanks for updating and posting.
Couple of things:
- Can you also attach a photo of what the new fluid looks like for comparison.
- I looked up the fluid p/n from your transmission sticker 83-22-0-024-359. Here is what I found in terms of part number updates:
83-22-9-415-976 expired 4/12/2000 Texaco ETL 8072B
83-22-0-024-359 expired 1/21/2005 Texaco ETL 8072B
83-22-0-403-249 expired date ? Texaco ETL 8072B
83-22-0-397-114 current p/n. BMW Dexron VI transmission oil. $72.89 for 4 Liters
- Is there any chance you can take the old filter apart so that we can see what it looks like inside? It's too bad you live so far away, a professional fluid analysis from Blackstone Labs would be fantastic.
