CleanIsFast Journal: BMW X5 4.6iS

This isn't a Range Rover, there's not THAT much clearance under the X5. You'll need to buy 4 jack stands so you can lift up the X5 evenly. That's the other important thing to note— the vehicle has to be level to do the fluid service correctly.

Interesting, i'll have to investigate. Makes sense because anything prior to 210* on the cluster, it shifts great. But if this is the case, the fluid will still need to be replaced because it's probably getting burnt
