The link that you posted is for the ZF 5HP24 transmission used in the 4.4i & 4.6is V8 E53. Your 3.0i is fitted with the GM 5L40-E transmission. The Pentosin ATF is a replacement for the Mobil ATF LT71141 fluid used in the ZF transmission (golden colour). Your transmission uses Dexron fluid (red colour). It's essential that you don't mix up the two fluids.
How certain are you that the plug you're removing is the level/filler plug and not (say) the pressure test plug? Could you maybe take a photo of it and post it up on here? Phil |

Resolved. Now back to the primary problem. Thanks all of you for the help!
You also caught another mistake of mine ... it wasn't the filler hole, but the pressure test hole I was pumping fluid through. After you suggested it, I looked up the images and surely enough I went in the wrong way....no wonder. Ops!! Well, thank-you!!! I was able to complete the fluid change.
In searching for a diagram I found someone had done something similar and posted their correction. Ref: http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...r-x5-3-0i.html Now back to the primary problem [[transmission failsafe with code P0733]], which did not go away after the fluid change (and also a battery change). Thanks all of you for the help! I really appreciate it. -Wellington. Quote:
