How to change the automatic transmission oil in the BMW E90

Model: BMW Serie 3 E92, E90, E91 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Transmission fluid

To replace the automatic gearbox oil on the BMW 3 Series E90, it is necessary to have advanced competence, professional machinery and above all to use PPE (personal protective equipment) to protect hands and eyes. Now let's see in detail the various steps. With the car suspended, remove the bottom panel that covers the gearbox oil sump, unscrew the cap and drain a quantity of oil equal to the volume of the washing additive that we will have to introduce, after having connected the fittings of the equipment. Once the additive has been inserted, the car must travel approximately 20km in order to wash the gearbox, torque converter and gearbox oil cooling circuit. After these km, lift the car again, reopen the cap and let the used oil drain completely. Completely unscrew the oil pan and remove it, paying attention to the residual oil. Remove the old gasket, clean the base where we will put the new gasket and replace the oil filter. Introduce in the gearbox the quantity and type of oil indicated by the parent company and complete it by inserting the additive with nano particles that reduces friction on the various components of the gearbox.
