3.0d e53 gearbox oil change
Morning can anyone tell me which oil and how much is needed to do gearbox oil change as car is on 180,000 odd and don’t know when or if it’s ever been changed
Re: 3.0d e53 gearbox oil change
The official ZF kit for the 6 speed comes with 7 litres of their OEM Lifeguard 6 oil if that helps? Use of the correct oil is critical.

Ideal thanks. I’m guessing there’s no rubber sleeves and bridge to replace on these like on the e60’s
Re: 3.0d e53 gearbox oil change
The kits usually contain a filter, gaskets, new bolts and some also include a sleeve for the electrical connection to the Mechatronics module.

Plenty of kits including ZF kits on the bay.

I had mine done at my local bmw indi about a year ago only cost me £134 i think or £3137 and well worth it.
I thought the box was ok before but it was on 167k so had it done after it was like silk.
