BMW 5 Series Transmission Flush

A transmission flush is usually twice the price of a fluid change due to the amount of arduous time the service takes and the fact that the flush not only replaces the fluid in the pan but also removes needless fluid from the cooler lines and other components of your important transmission. A BMW 5 Series transmission flush also uses about 10 quarts of fluid to utterly 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 necessary if your system contains unchecked dirt or debris. If the fluid is exceptionally dark or contains other sediments, we would endorse a complete system flush instead of only just exchanging the fluid. If you'd like one of our experienced and talented BMW 5 Series technicians to delicately examine your transmission fluid, book your transmission service online or give Richmond BMW Midlothian a call at 8043618758.

BMW 5 Series Automatic vs Manual Transmission

Automatic and manual transmission will usually require a wide range of different fluids. Automatic transmission fluids are generally thinner and are usually red or green in color. Manual transmission fluid or gear oil is more bulky and thicker due to additives and other critical compounds necessary to lubricate the gearbox and other parts. Manual transmissions have a higher friction environment due to the way gears are changed, thus the lubricant is vastly different.

Not only are the fluids different between manual and automatic transmissions but the level of heat the fluids experience is extremely different. Automatic transmissions generate ample heat and thus the fluid in your transmission must be changed more ordinarily. If you don't change your BMW 5 Series transmission fluid, your transmission will have perilous broken metal shavings and other corrosive material spread throughout the essential parts of your BMW 5 Series. You should ordinarily check the fluid levels between your fluid and transmission flush service intervals. In many cases, manual transmissions don't come equipped with a dipstick to check your fluid levels, so it can be immensely difficult to do. Call or visit Richmond BMW Midlothian for more data if your transmission doesn't contain a dipstick.
