Factory is Oetiker. Replace it with regular clamp. I wrote the tricks here: https://xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-forums/...re-attach.html

I don't mind paying $30-$40 for Rein or BMW...but...
This is just a standard "Transmission cooler type" hose. Question: has anyone here used standard trans hose for a few dollars at local auto parts store?

Parts are coming in tomorrow. I sprung for that nifty $13 tool from FCP Euro and also decided to replace the return hose since it seemed a little oily where it connects to the reservoir.
Final question, I hope: I had not planned on draining all the fluid, just topping up. Considering that the fluid is almost certainly original (car has 31K miles) do y'all have any recommendations for what to use to top it up with? Manual specs Dexron III, but I'm out in the country and having trouble finding it locally. Recommendations/advice greatly appreciated! -Chris |

Dexron VI is compatible with Dexron III. But honestly, I would change it all out. You can leave the Dexron III in the pump, rack and lines and just replace the fluid in the reservoir but I simply took a 1/2" hose and connected it to the return line and flushed it into a bucket on the floor. You need to constantly pour into the reservoir as it moves a lot of fluid when running.
