BMW X3 Automatic vs Manual Transmission

Automatic and manual transmission will frequently require a variety of different fluids. Automatic transmission fluids are ordinarily thinner and are frequently red or green in color. Manual transmission fluid or gear oil is more bulky and thicker due to additives and other essential 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 exceedingly different.

Not only are the fluids different between manual and automatic transmissions but the level of heat the fluids experience is exceedingly different. Automatic transmissions generate considerable heat and thus the fluid in your transmission must be changed more normally. If you don't change your BMW X3 transmission fluid, your transmission will have unpredictable broken metal shavings and other corrosive material spread throughout the critical components of your BMW X3. You should normally 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 information if your transmission doesn't contain a dipstick.
