curryinahurry 38 Report post Posted March 14, 2018 Hi Team, I've been wanting to get my trans serviced on the 335i for a while. Done plenty of reading on the type of fluid, but theres no general consensus on the best alternative to the factory ZF LG-6 fluid. So, the question is - does anyone know a good place to buy Lifeguard 6 fluid without bending over at the dealer??? Or a different fluid which had been used with proven success? Thanks, Andrew Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

B.M.W Ltd 950 Report post Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) Talk to Transmission Solutions in Manukau and buy the Amtex 6 speed oil of them. It's what we used BTW...you need to set the oil level in park on a level surface at 45 degrees C Edited March 14, 2018 by B.M.W Ltd 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B.M.W Ltd 950 Report post Posted March 15, 2018 Make sure you replace the loom socket as well when you do this. They leak and can only be replaced with the pan off. These pans have a fit once or leak tolerance Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
