as above want to change my gearbox oil i am assuming its a "sealed for life" unit
is this a DIY job or does it have to be done by the stealers !
the car in question is a 2000 323ci auto

dude !

like I told you . Its an LTF gearbox, and you do require the filler adapter to refill it, and life data on gearbox internal temps to ensure its 100% right on refill.

40% or so of the fresh oil will be lost flushing the torque converter out, but no bad thing IMHO.

I wonder about your brain sometimes :lol:
