I know this is an old post, but figured I add a new question:

In a previously published posting, I asked for help with regards to the slow leak coming from the Tranny oil pan. Today I purchased a bottle of Pentosin ATF1 and will topp it off before I take it to Spokane for warranty work. I am sure I could fix it myself, as it is probably the gasket that's leaking, but I also hit 60,000 miles and I will let them do the service. I usually change my oil, therefore I will request for the oil not to be changed.

The question none of the NAPA guys could answer was: Is the Pentosin ATF1 as good as the Esso LT 71141? Has anyone used it before? When I typed in BMW oil # 83220142516 listed on the bottom of the oil pan sticker, Pentosin ATF1 comes up...

Thanks for all who read this.
