I object to the complication, ie when it fails, it will be more expensive and time consuming to fix. But from a thermodynamics perspective, it is all very logical. Liquid coolant is far more effective at cooling than air is. If we use coolant on the engine block and head, why wouldn't we use it on other engine components and ancillaries that have high cooling requirements? Stable temperatures are better than temperature spikes, particularly for electrical components, and particularly for components that have a highly variable duty cycle. And the fact that the alternator helps warm up the passenger compartment upon cold start is a neat addition. Certainly more expensive to fix when it breaks, but then that is a common theme across many BMW engineering solutions.

Thank you so much... It is the same.....i'm going to change the transmission fluid/torque convertor fluid, transfer case fluid plus rear and front diff....but this will be perform at specialyzed transmission shop.... I learn so much in this thread that i was able to understand all (or most) of the process. The shop told me that it was a no brainer to change fluid at 75miles on any transmission and BTW ZF transmission are taking a lot of the Market share on many automotive brand (not dedicated to BMW).... Cheers

I hear you and all that is great but here in Phoenix too cool is an oxymoron. It is 111 at 6:22pm and if we are lucky it will get down to a chilly 82 by 5am.

If I decide to do this is there a real difference between these:
AMSOIL Signature Series Multi-Vehicle Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid AMSOIL OE Multi-Vehicle Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid Price difference is more or less 20 bucks. Seems a no brainer if there is a chance of more protection. What about the filter? There are several companies claiming to be oe. Which is?

The CTSC - ZF Parts You can't drain what's on the TQ so why not stick with OEM fluid. I bought my 6HP19 flush kit from them, quick response on email as well. |

Oh yeah, thectsc sells everything ZF, 5-sp or 6-sp and soon probbaly 7-sp.
My last comment just to show you I bought from them so I know they are good, even confirmed with me when I try to order a separate gasket for filter by saying no I didn't need one since the gasket is built into the filter. |

All my ZF stuff came from Klaus. His name is really Klaus. Lol. So funny, but he is a cool dude.
And yes, our ZF trans, and lots of variants of it, are in a lot of cars. From Jags, to Bentleys, to all types of other cars. We aren't the only ones dealing with them. Amsoil, hmm I have a lot to say about them. But I won't, because if you do your homework, you will find out the bullshit behind the entire pyramid scheme. For your ZF trans, if you are going to drain and fill, at least put the stuff that was meant to be in there.

I can't share any experience in using their products in a BMW but all my subarus and many of the guys in the local subaru community have been running Amsoil for quite some time with 100% satisfaction.
