I am planning to replace the transmission fluid on my 335d (now at 80K) soon. The dealer wanted $1,050, which is truly insane. I can get the parts (ZF fluid, pan/filter/plug, and replacement bolts) for about $350, so I can't justify not doing it myself.
My question is how much of the $23/liter ZF fluid do I need? BavAuto indicates that I need 6 liters, and my Bentley manual says 9.5 including torque converter, which I assume I am not draining. Bentley also suggests measuring how much drains out and filling that much back in. I'm not sure Ill be able to catch every drop.
I was thinking of buying 7 liters. Think that's good?
