Just changed the ATF and filterin my E39 530D Auto for the first time at 173,000 miles. The fluid was still red and there was no sludge in the pan or metal particles on the magnet. One piece of advice, always undo the filler before draining the fluid, just in case the filler is stuck. You don't want to drain the ATF only to find you can't refill it.

Very good video thank you for showing how its done 👍

Well done ✅, nice job 👏🏻

Ver good. Buen trabajo muy buen video

Muy buenos videos se agradece y se aprende muchas gracias

Simple et très explicatif Merci

Thanks for your video's 🏆

Your top notch...great work

Très bonne vidéo, la technique est très explicite, je vais en avoir besoin demain 👌🏻

Magnifique!

Bonjour Normalement après avoir passé les rapport il faut rajouté de huile car les vitesses on aspiré huile puis attendre le goutte à goutte quand sa déborde refermé. ( il faut normalement se mettre en dessous du goutte à goutte avec un thermomètre est fermé entre 45 et 50 degré) Procedure vidange boite GM5

TOP VIDEO de vidange partielle

Muy bien el brico. Como recomendación te diría que al vaciar los 5 l de aceite del cárter yo llenaría con aceite nuevo, arrancaría el motor ya que así se mezcla los 5l del cárter con los 3 l restantes en el convertidor. Digamos que es un lavado de aceite para el convertidor. Así cambias la mayor cantidad de aceite. Al final con el motor en marcha, palanca de cambios en D, freno pisado, se llena de aceite hasta que rebose. Creo recordar que son 8 l el aceite que tiene la caja. Un saludo

Como siempre gran video y bien hecho el trabajo! Sabes si en el 530i al poner a nivel el cárter de la caja de cambio hay mucho desnivel a ajustar entre los gatos de delante del coche y los de detrás?

Great video. My e39 isn't moving up gears and accelerating properly. It did this while over taking and suddenly slowed down. Do you think automatic transmission service could fix this? Thank you

Am I right saying this is the same on a 1999 528i E39 ?

I have an X3 3.0I. The transmission lights showed up about a week ago. It was driving fine but now i am beginning to hear a bang sound anytime i move the gear from P to R and D. I hear a bang sound anytime the gear changes. It has been scanned but it says one of the wheel sensors are not working. I believe an oil change is needed. It has almost 190,000 miles. Please advice

Bonjour je souhaiterais savoir à quelle moment le niveau et bon et on peut fermer le bouchon merci video très explicite bravo !!

i drained my E39 'box oil at 250K km. Satisfying.

I thought torque them down you start in the middle and then work the way outside in a starpattern

Tip. outboard gear oil pump is very handy these kind of jobs. And cost about 10€ So is the filter that big black plastic thig? Nice video. Thinking of buying 530d.

Nice video,but some people say that needs to put 8.9 fluid in the transmission?

Buen vídeo, me podrías mandar un link de la Junta de la tapa del video, gracias

I'd always loosen the fill plug first. World of pain if that snaps off after you have drained all the oil.

Parabéns pelo vídeo. Apenas estou com uma dúvida, vejo em todo o lado que estas caixas automaticas levam 9litros, mas na verdade só colocou 5, o que é feito com os outros 4litros? Cumprimentos!

Any idea if the e39 530d ever came with a ZF 5 speed automatic instead of the GM?

you know it`s a gm when you see the oil plug :))

The ultimate DIY machine, Bonjour Amigo...Tres belle video detaillee, Super, je la garde comme reference...J'ai quelques questions a te poser sur ton avis personel...Un peu comme toi, J'ai une 530d de 2002 totalisant 330000kms dont la boite Auto n'a probablement jamais était vidanger... 1)Est ce que ta boite auto était sur sa toute 1ere vidange de boite ? Je n'ais Aucun problèmes de fonctionnement a ce jour, a part le niveau qui doit être bas !!! ( voyant roue crantee qui vient de faire son 1er signe...) 2) Tu as fait ta vidange avec de l'ATF Motul III , mais Comme j'ai vu une promo sur de la Motul Synthetic ATF VI, je penser l'acheter...Est ce tu pense que c'est une bonne décision ??, vu que c'est une boite avec pas mal de kms ...Mais qui fonctionne bien...Demarrage tout doux, avec respect de mise en température le matin etc 3) Que pense tu d'un Flush et ou vidange par le radiateur d'huile de boite ? Voila, merci d'avance pour tes réponses, Asta luego

How about oil? I see that you used 100% synthetic oil instead of mineral (recommended for this gearbox is Texaco 7045e) so I'm wondering if you had and issues with gearbox because of that.

Una pregunta, el aceite que hay en el convertidor de par se vacía junto con la caja de cambios o se queda ahí? Y de quedarse ahí cómo se puede cambiar?

Dear fiend I have E39 2.5D 2003 year it is the same gear box?

How often do you change the oil and service in the automatic diesel gearbox ? I bought my car a year ago. It is an E39 530D has 155 thousand miles but I can’t tell if it has ever had a automatic transmission service. Thanks.

Hi thanks for the video. Is it the same fluid for 2 series grand tourer? Thank you

Can I use valvoline atf maxlife full synthetic

How much ATF is needed? And what torque for the nuts?

hello what engine oil viscosity you use in this engine?

What oil u used? Dexron 3 or dexron 6 spec?

My car (E39 530d automatic) most recently got a warning notice on my dash board: It says "Getriebe not programm"... I can drive it but it starts to lose throttle after the engine gets to working temperature. I connected the car to the diagnostics computer and it says something about 2nd and 4th gear not working. Is the whole transmission dead, or is it the transmission computer. Or something else. Thanks.

Is it necessary to add 1.5 litre engine oil at the end ? Why ?

So you leave the plug open when changing gears?

Is the atf is dexron 3? You add?

I heard from somebody that this shifter can accept about 7.5-8L of oil. Is it true?

So did you stil have this car? How much km? Did you have any problem with engine or transmisson?

Is it 5 litre or 6.5 on e39 530d ?

did you mean 5L +1.5 L ?

this is not so good, when first oil change you need the flush it two or three times and drive between each flush , here you mixed the old oil in converter with new oil , and nvere forget to flush the coolant lines

You don't change gearbox oil in this car ever, unless you had some damage that might contaminate it or some leaking issues. It even says on the sticker @0:22 - wtf?
