Transmission Fluid Change

Reefy · 12-20-2021, 01:24 PM

Hello everyone!

Just wondering if anyone has vids or info about changing transmission fluid for the F48.

Nearing 50k miles so just want to prepare for it.

I found the oil pan(24118627787) for the transmission fluid change but it doesnt look like theres a filter there. Can you confirm if its integrated into the pan or did you have to order a separate filter? If separate, any chance you could provide the part number?

TIA!

I'm unable to confirm. I didn't see an external filter and didn't attempt to find/replace it.

I've been partially changing transmission oil once a year for over two years now. This is a simple job to do, a little more complicated than changing the motor oil. It is necessary to remove the bottom protection, as well as the intake silencer. It usually drains >3.0<3.5L, which I replace with the same amount - 4 bottles of liqui moly TOP TEC ATF 1800 that costs CAD8.5/1L. Pretty cheap DIY.

Love the feedback everyone.

Thinking to do this at 60k miles.

I see others recommend earlier, thoughts?
