Which ATF for a GM transmission?

Recommended Posts

Hi

Will be changing the Auto Transmission fluid in a Jap import 2000 E46 323i with a A5S 360R (GM 5L40-E) transmission in it.  Green lable on the sump, transmission code is VP.  Research says it has ETL 7045E ATF in it, which sounds to be a special mix of DEX 3.

Considering using:

- Castrol Transmax Multi Vehicle, which is DEX 3 with special additives for Jap import cars.

-Penrite Multi-Vehicle ATV LV, which is DEX 6, since its backwards compatible with all GM auto's

 

What do people use in these auto's?

Cheers

Muzz

I use a Penrite ATF in our 320d. It's good - after 500000km there's still no issues.

I've attached the Penrite application list.
