Thanks, but LT 71141 is BMW's atf spec for that trans, for which this fluid has been actually certified, is that incorrect? This fluid has slightly higher vis. than the maxlife that people have been using with good sucess, not aware of any bad outcomes... Redline D4, a couple anecdotes. I've used the maxlife in the same trans in a mercedes, worked fine, that combined with the fact that I'm not superstitious by nature I'll let you all know tomorrow how it goes, planned to have it done tonight but the filter and meticulously cleaning and painting the pan, affixing the gasket, ate up a lot of time. Oh, and doing the same job getting the fluid clean with Pentosin, about 500$.

Default Man, I'm slow.

Got it done and went for a spin, feels good- firmer shifts. Thanks for all the help, ladies and gents.
