You missed a critical part of the procedure. Always ensure you can remove the fill plug before you drain the system. You are screwed if you drain the fluid and cannot remove the fill plug.

Thank you so much for making these detailed F01/02 videos. Appreciate the bolt tourque info too!

Excellent job Francisco! Comprehensive, straightforward, honest and more informative than the answers you can get from calling the dealership service departments. Appreciate your post.

Your videos are a tremendous help, thank you!

I'll take your word over a BMW mechanic any day. Good instruction, I learned a great deal.

I have friends born in the United States who’s English isn’t as good as yours lol it’s nice to see the effort you put into your channel thank you I am impressed man new subscriber

Great video. Exactly how I do it. Better quality than other videos. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Keep up that great content, thank you!

Very informative! I enjoyed how you detailed the work. I have a 328i with over 100k. I bought it used in 2018. I don't think the transmission fluid was ever changed. This is helps tremoundsly.

You are a HERO. Thanks and your videos will save people alot of money. Thanks for your support ... P.S. I have the 2013 model and this was so helpful!!!

Your videos are absolutely so informative, honest, and I love watching them! I also have this car, 2011 750Li Individual.. I love it but so much to maintain. I wish I could do my own mechanic work! Just trying to inform myself so I know when I take it to my mechanic. Thanks so much

Very good video, another guy said take off the filler plug first because if you cant get it off or strip it you wont be able to drive it off the lift. why do they say its lifetime mine came out pretty black too.. Nice work. I put a new solenoid because I had fault code open circuit on c, I measured ohms and no resistance, the new one measure correct at 5.1 ohm after put back together still have code for open circuit, I hope just have to erase the codes from before or mechtronic have another problem in circuit. 2006 rover zf hp26

Excellent video. Thanks so much. I prefer Valvoline MaxLife transmission fluid. It is $18.00 bucks a gallon at Walmart, and EXCEEDS the performance of ZF's fluid. ZF incorrectly thinks their fluid is liquid gold, and it isn't. What ZF charges for their fluid is robbery...

When addind fluid you have to run the car to a especific temp my measuring the fluid temp either with a scan tool or a cheap temp gun pointed at fluid/adding port. If it's pooring out when cold then you put to much since it expands. Btw gread video on the n63 valve cleaning with crc can. Will do that to mine

I’d rate this guy’s skill level as not much more than a backyard mechanic. Always break loose the fill plug do then? He’s completely contaminated the fresh trans. fluid by mixing it in that filthy pump bucket. There is a very specific cross-pattern pan bolt tightening sequence for tightening the pan bolts. ZF has one pattern and BMW recommends something very similar, either way, he blew it by not following and cross-pattern tightening at all. For $20 more, he should have sent a sample of the old fluid out for analysis to gauge the wear on that transmission. Finally, the old fluid looked extremely dirty. The torque converter does not drain out when you change the fluid. With old fluid that dirty I would have flushed the fluid 2 or three times more to circulate all that old gunk out of the trans. Depending on the result of the fluid analysis, that he neglected, this would have been a good investment.

Great video my man I was just wondering I believe there is a tightening procedure for the actual transmission pan the crisscross tightening pattern but you made everything look so simple fantastic job on the video

The bolts were torqued incorrectly in this video. You should start centrally and proceed in a cross-cross pattern.

I like the way you video and explain things, can you give me website for all videos having to do with this bmw I have a 2011 750li x drive thank you

Awesome info. Thanks, subscribed. Hopefully that is all is needed on my f10 2011 528i. Starts up no issues but no gear shifting. I have never drained the transmission oil since purchased meaning for > 227K miles nor the transmission filter. Curious where your shop is. Thanks again.

Love your help and save me some money

Great video as usual....my n63 transmission have a bit leak ...I'm wondering if I can just replace the pan gasket instead of the whole pan so pricey Thanks

My friend, before doing anything on the gearbox, the first thing to do is to open the oil filler plug. because if you drain the oil first and don't get the screw open, you won't get any new oil in your gearbox either. it is better to drive with old oil than with no oil in the transmission. Just by the way. otherwise very informative video. Greetings from Bavaria

Very helpfull, thank you. I have a 2006 BMW 750 LI. do all BMW need to be filled in this manner?

Thanks for the diy's. I have a 2011 x5 50i with an 8sp. Planning to do this now as car is on 75,000kms. I read on a forum a while back that it is a hard job and the oil needs to be at operating temperature when you add it. Is this true? otherwise its a straight forward process.

Nice video but given you felt that the oil had never been changed why did you not also change the mechatronic bridge and 4 little plastic seals/tubes as well as the sleeve for the electrical plug? Thanks for uploading.

Nice video. One question. When checking fluid level on second check, with engine running, must it be engaged in neutral or in gear?

Francisco, Hey Men I appreciate your help and am a big fun of yours. Quick question.. I have a 2014 BMW 320i with bad TCM. It has a bad temperature sensor. I have bought a used transmission from LKQ. Is it true that used TCM can’t be coded to the car?? And if it can be done which scanner can do that? I see you have a snap on solus. Any help Will be highly appreciated.🙏

Thanks good vid..I have 740libmw 2013 milage now 185k never changed transmission fluid ..since I bought it...car looks heavy when driving ..and no 1 and 2 takes time to shift...can I change gear box oil now ..what's your advise

One thing to keep in mind, the fluid in the torque converter does not drain. I've seen some posts where an owner does one service and then another after 30 days, etc.

Do you have to do a transmission reset after you change the transmission oil and filter on a 2012 F02 750li?

Im looking to replace the transmission and i want to know do i have to replace the mechatronic/valve body as well?

Hi Great videos!! ✌️ I have a BMW X6 with a ZF 6hp28x gearbox I have changed the oil and filters and now when I drive 10 meters backwards or forwards and brake the car stalls as if you release the clutch too quickly. Once it's warm it's over What could that be??? Have you ever experienced this? regards Koen

Doesn’t the new transmission oil in the transmission become immediately contaminated if you do not drain the old transmission fluid out of the torque converter as well?

Great job but take the fill plug off before drain plug and thank you

you should tight finally the plug when the transmission gets between 30 and 50 degrees celsius . not before.

I have 11/2015 750x drive i got ,,Bottom radiator blind doesn’t move correctly ,, as CEL what do you think about that and car in general

Ok so I am having problems with my 2006 BMW X5 it doesn't seem to want to fully go into gear , like now that I just did a ALL fluid replacement for the tranny fluid an all that, it does actually make a step forward what I mean by that is it, it is actually WANTING to go into gear now, as opposed to before I would start it, & would try to put it in gear (TRIED BUT NO SUCCESS, WITH ALLL GEARS) so big difference between then an now. But now it seems like it wants to super bad but my gears all seem to have came outta linement, if that makes any since ?? Do u know why this is ??! Or how one goes about fixing it, an getting it to be in the correct chain of enlinenment????? PLEASE HELP ??!!😵‍💫😫🤯😳🤔🥺 Sincerely, a EXTREMELY CONFUSED, FRUSTRATED, loyal (2 a fault) 4 EVER, BMW LOVER 😍

I have a 2006 BMW 330 I. It will not go into drive: the shifter goes into “D” position, it does not register in the actual transmission. It will go into reverse and park effectively. There is a light on the instrument panel with a “!” . The code reader says: p1155 and one other one, I think MAF censor. Can any unrelated censors causd

Lifetime fluid is a myth. They want you to never change the fluid so when it breaks, you must buy another car
