BMW X3 Transmission Fluid

A transmission fluid change is commonly half the price of a transmission flush as it requires a lot less fluid and time to perform. BMW X3 transmission fluid changes are exceptionally imposing to keep your vehicle's transmission cool and lubricated. If you don't routinely change your fluids at least every 30,000 miles or so, you may find that your BMW X3 transmission will slip. Check your car's owner's manual for more information on the definitive mileage intervals in which your transmission needs the fluid replaced.

BMW X3 Transmission Flush

A transmission flush is usually twice the price of a fluid change due to the amount of time the service takes and the fact that the flush not only replaces the fluid in the pan but also removes fluid from the cooler lines and other elements of your transmission. A BMW X3 transmission flush also uses about 10 quarts of fluid to completely clean and flush out the system.

How do you know if you need a Transmission Fluid Change or Transmission Flush?

A transmission flush is only troublesome if your system contains dirt or debris. If the fluid is extremely dark or contains back-up sediments, we would recommend a complete system flush instead of just exchanging the fluid. If you'd like one of our competent BMW X3 technicians to examine your transmission fluid, book your transmission service online or give Nalley BMW of Decatur a call at 7706285694.

Your BMW X3 will also contain a gasket, pickup tube, and rubber seal which may all need to be replaced along with the filter.

BMW X3 Automatic vs Manual Transmission

Automatic and manual transmission will constantly require different fluids. Automatic transmission fluids are normally thinner and are constantly red or green in color. Manual transmission fluid or gear oil is thicker due to additives and additional compounds imperative to lubricate the gearbox and additional components. Manual transmissions have a higher friction environment due to the way gears are changed, thus the lubricant is different.

Not only are the fluids discrete between manual and automatic transmissions but the level of heat the fluids experience is very discrete. Automatic transmissions generate a lot more heat and thus the fluid in your transmission must be replenished more regularly. If you don't change your BMW X3 transmission fluid, your transmission will have broken metal shavings and other corrosive material spread throughout the perilous components of your BMW X3. You should regularly check the fluid levels between your fluid and transmission flush service intervals. In several cases, manual transmissions don't come equipped with a dipstick to check your fluid levels, so it can be tremendously laborious to do. Call or visit Nalley BMW of Decatur for more information if your transmission doesn't contain a dipstick.
