Brendog 3 Report post Posted December 5, 2017 Hi I'm sure this has been asked before but looking for Dexron VI transmission oil recommendation for a GM GA6L-45R transmission in a 07 E87 LCI 130i. Prefer to buy locally NZ online but finding it hard to find a good one at a reasonable price. Red Line is way too expensive at $40 a litre x8. https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/oil-additives/auction-1484976613.htm?rsqid=c890c7df000e415db90c8838183b3d20 Considering PEAK ATF DEXRON VI which is quite reasonable or Elf Elfmatic MV LV which is quite expensive but much cheaper than Red Line. Any recommendations and places to buy? Is Peak any good? Want to put the best I can afford in. Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brendog 3 Report post Posted December 5, 2017 I already have the BMW filter kit 24152357284: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=UD52-EUR-04-2007-E87N-BMW-130i&diagId=88_0105 Was planning on doing it myself so I known exactly what oil/parts have been used and do a double drain/fill plus a DIY mission but don't know about the wiring loom socket so might be a good idea to get you on the case! See how I go. Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
