hello Professor. Which OBD2 Interface do you recommend. Also I could not find exact rear jack point to lift back of the car
Without any doubts, the best, most informative and straightforward video ever posted on TH-cam regarding your ZF8 gearbox transmission fluid service. 10 stars! :)
Thank's from Canada, Québec Montreal, great video merci... (I have a BMW x3 2008) just buy in december 2023, and the KLM is just 179,000 but I will change all the oil in the mécanic...
hello Professor, can I use valvoline ATF transmission fluid for BMW X1? thank you
Hola! Soy mecanico y poseedor de un bmw x3 f25 y me paso lo mismo, en agencia dicen que no se remplaza el aceite, pero el fabricante de la transmision dice que si, entre 80000 y 150000 km dependiendo el tipo de uso. La cuestion es que el aceite no se degrada, el problema es la microviruta que despiden los engranajes y discos por el propio desgaste. La idea es cambiar aceite y filtros para que no llegue a las valvulas, que son electroimanes y estos pegarian la viruta y provocan que se bloqueen. ademas en el intercambiador una vez entra mugre no puede salir.. Elegiste la mejor opcion para ahorrar mucho dinero a futuro... buen video, y buen trabajo! Saludos desde Argentina
So good!
Hi Professor. I do believe in changing the ZF pan/filter if never done before or every other fluid change. That way you can get rid of all the shavings on the magnets. I have a ZF 6HP26 in my Hyundai I bought used and plan on replacing the fluid on a timely basis. Lifetime Fluid is only during the warranty period
