ATF Oil Container?
 
Hello again, I have a question. What is that container next to the oil filter just left of it. I have a 4.4 X5 01... The reason why I'm asking is because I opened it up today to see what's inside and I noticed a red oil, like power steering fluid, it was very low and wondered if this is normal ? Thanks...

Also it says on the cap, ATF OIL ......

Thats your power steering, it uses ATF

BimmerDude 02-16-2007 01:18 PM

Ok, but it is low... Is this normal???

No experience with a 4.4 engine bay, but there should be min/max marks on the resevoir. If it's way low, top it off and see if it vanishes again. If it does, you know what's up..

There is no dipstick to check, I think its an overflow from the power steering. But if not where can I get this atf oil from? Thanks...

On the container, there should be min/max marks inscribed on it.

There is no Min/Max marks, I've already checked thats why I'm asking if anybody can tell me a little about this...

You have to look INSIDE the container. It can be diffecult to see, sometimes I need to shine a flashlight inside. There should be a line/grove going around the inside.

Ok, that I didn't do, also where can I find this oil? Anywhere? What spec is it? Thanks...
