Wow! Thank you for this. My 2009 Z4 35i has 144,000 miles on it but have never changed the DCT transmission fluid. It had 72,000 on the car when I bought it so I doubt it’s ever been changed and I don’t have any service records prior to me buying the car. Your video is the first one I’ve found regarding the DCT trans oil change. It’s not leaking but I think it’s long overdue for an oil service.

Thanks for the helpful information. I noticed though you said you drained 6.5 liter but then added 5.5 to 6.0. Is this because you reached 104 Fahrenheit and intend to add additional fluid once it cools and is back in the temperature range to add? Also the foxwell tool is capable of performing the oil balancing function which engages 1/3 with minimum pressure and maximum cooling during the final fluid add.

@Sals_Garage

2 жыл бұрын

Thanks I knew about the final 1/3 filling but I didn’t have a tool to perform that. I will probably go back and do the final fill when I have the time. As for the amount drained I’m guessing it was overfilled slightly from the factory. I could probably get a little more in there but it takes time and the car heats up quickly.

Great video... thank you for taking your time to show us how it can be done 👍 Have you noticed any difference in the gear changes? Is it smoother now?

Nice diy, thanks! My transmission on a ‘12 m3 e93 has 52k miles. I’ve been thinking about doing a drain and replacement of the fluid without replacing the filters since it’s lower miles. Do you have an idea how much of the 6.5 liters came out just from the drain plug?

@Sals_Garage

3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the comment. I didn’t check the exact amount that came out prior to doing the filters, but I would say about 5.5 to 6L of fluid. It’s best to get 6 bottles for a safe bet.

Nice video Sal (your others as well), thanks. Did I missunderstand or did you drained 6.5q but only filled in 5.5-6q? Also curious, have you use Protool to reset your DCT adaptation? Ps. Final one, you on M3post? Thanks!

Can you just replace the rubber gasket and reuse the pan? If i do it, fill the fluid until it overflows then start the engine, then fill again until it flows out and hand tight the fill plug. When the temp reaches the temp., remove the fill plug to have access fluid to run out. I think it's easier this way.

Yes, it should take about another quart of fluid until it spills out again. Need to make sure the fluid temperature is in the correct fill range of 80-120 degrees Fahrenheit.
