You say that, but yet Scotty gets so many views

@@GeorgeAusters and his videos are full of misinformation and opinion rather than fact.

@@troublesomez24 Yep but you need to get views to survive

At least he’s on topic scotty posts a title that has nothing to do with the video like I’m retiring - yeah right scotty not for another 50 years

@@ThunderRoadDreams for real!!!

How much does it take?

What year is your car!?

All you thought was how mom will deal😂think about your car bro ...let it warm up

He's talking about what he said in the video Goof.

I make less and still have an e38 740i that I maintain myself. So it is possible, it is not forbidden to drive more expensive car if you don't have a full bank account.

So I guess you're saying you drive a Honda...

I only make around $450 a week and I own two BMWs but I am capable of fixing myself it breaks down. Well, short of, ironically enough, rebuilding a transmission 😂

Thanks for watching Wally , you should really like tomorrows video

Thanks for posting this bro, was a little hesitant to try this fluid.

Facts. It doesn't matter if it's a BMW or a Honda. ALWAYS let the car warm up...it takes time for the fluids to circulate through the car. I'd rather spend 5 minutes letting the car warm up than $5,000 to repair the transmission.

Good advice 👍

For most of us the problem is how big the trans cooler should be. I usually try to the largest I can fit in front of the radiator. Seems like most auto trans. rebuilders recommend the coolers also.

I made that mistake when I was 16

80% of America makes just that which is roughly $12.50 per hour

Nathans BMW Workshop sad but true

@@NathansBMWWorkshop is it really 80 percent? Thats awful! I didnt know that! Everyone makes a lot more where I live.

Google says 51% of America makes Under $30k a year , it also says that only 17% make more than $50k a year , I hope to see those numbers go up to be honest , a lot of people under paid

Have any of them been a 6hp26?

@@iibise.3827 not yet.

What kinda fluid did you use?

Ever 40-50k miles to prevent abnormal wear

Takes about 4 or 5 drain and refills to get to 95% new fluid. On a drain and fill, more than 60% old contaminated ATF remains. A lot better to do a complete mechanical fluid exchange after changing filter and gaskets. ZF recommends about 50K miles while BMW insists it is a lifetime fill.

@@machtschnell7452 Thanks for the "heads up"; will remember this when I next purchase an automatic !!!! Am looking for an E53 at the moment; nearest mechanically to my E38 and E39 but with a taller body (I've got a bad back) And still Stay Safe everyone !!!!!!!!!

@@robertselkirk674 Try getting one without the sport package, preferably with smaller wheel size. Otherwise the ride can be quite harsh and that's not good for your back. And do get the comfort seats if you can, those also help.

@@andyb6851 Thanks for the info, Andy. I didn't know you could get comfort seats, I thought they all were leather and were all comfortable. Also the wheels, thought they were all the same size !!!!!!!!!!! I'll also note your comments below, re. the oil cooler, presumably this applies to automatic's only, sure my E39 525d (with manual box) has no oil cooler. Thanks for replying, and you and your family, and all Nathan's followers; Stay Safe !!!!!!!

This must be a really good one then lol

ZF trans only have the megatronix sleeves that need to be changed. With the GM, filter and fluid change is only needed.

🤣🤣

A lot of people (including Redline (highly respected company in the BMW world)) recommend using Redline D4 ATF (check your year and model to be sure). Even though it is an ATF it is designed/works in many BMW MT. Especially in severe cold weather climates. www.bimmerworld.com/Fluids/Driveline-Fluids/Red-Line-D4-ATF-Quart.html If in a severely hot climate or track use, probably best to go with a “thicker” MT fluid. I used Amsoil MT fluid in my sons 08 328i, we live in a warmer climate with very mild winters. Did need a small hand pump to fill, due to the position of the fill hole. Very easy job though: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fZNyZ5yEuteRiqM.html

@@shannoncrawford7212 thank you for the info

@@MegaSuperMiracle you have to check the sticker on your transmission. It looks like this: www.redlineoil.com/content/images/news/bodyimages/129_m.jpg If it says ATF I can give you a list of recommended fluids. If it says MTF-LT1 or LT2 you have to get that. I had a customer fill in another fluid an it ruined the transmission. It started making noises. I saw it on the color that it was the wrong fluid. I always get the MTF fluid at BMW only for the reason they'll will sell you the exact amount you need. If you need 1.1 liters for example and you order it elsewhere you normally have to buy 2 one liter containers and have almost 1 liter leftover you can't use for anything.

@@shannoncrawford7212 that's what I used on my e36 5-speed manual.

Should be 6hp19 depending on the year

@@NathansBMWWorkshop its the first gen 2007 with the rattly turbos n54, so you reckon since its never been done in 108000 miles, I should probably get it done soon haha thanks for the reply! have you done a video on changing the gearbox oil, or is it not hard of a job to do myself?

It’s easy get the actual zf filter pan

Noel Porter Very easy job for the manual transmission: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fZNyZ5yEuteRiqM.html Just need a cheap pump to get the new fluid back in due to the location of the fill hole.

It will I have done many of them

I recently purchased a 2002 530i, I have a pulsing in the headlights lights. Do you have any thoughts? I also need to replace the adjusters because they are broken. Would you happen to have a link for adjusters for me to buy? Thank you in advance

@Larry Meister Check your battery. I had a 2000 528ia and had fluttering headlights and also noticed the dash lights would do the same thing. Problem was a loose battery terminal. Tightened it down and it never happened again.

Thank you very much for the reply, if I lived closer I’d have you do all my work

I have a 2014 328d x drive. . I Emailed ZF and they responded 80-100km. I decided to change it every 40,,000 miles. I had it changed at a GOOD trans shop who advertises racing trannys, Euro cars etc. Using OEM fluids. My dealer won't do it, Now have 67k miles and will do it again at 80k miles. Have had absolutely no issues.

One thing left to do, go get in your bmw put it in drive and slam the gas pedal to the floor as soon as you start it , get back to me and let me know how that turns out lol

@@NathansBMWWorkshop as I said it will move either forward or reverse,it wont damage anything internally due to fluid not being circulated ,like an imaginary huge air pocket that needs time to fill up? ,at 1k rpms cold start idle speed the fluid is instantly drawn up,as the engine cranks over it is being drawn up at just 250 rpms,so if there are no faults and full to max fluid level it will just move and spin its tyres if you stood on it, low fluid level and other internal faults may well cause a delay to engagement and it moving

Change the fluid and pan filter first , or check the level while the car is running at last to start

@@NathansBMWWorkshop i appreciate the response thank u

E90 330i 98K miles. same thing happens to mine in D under heavy throttle. it's better in manual mode, but still happens. am wondering if a simple fluid change would solve this, or it's something more serious like solenoids.

@@nexderm5606 I'm gonna try what Nathan said.....

Still should change the fluid, but easy: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fZNyZ5yEuteRiqM.html

Pointless trolling comment not actually saying anything that can be measured or evaluated.

Hi vviper, I watch Nathan's videos regardless of the headings, to support him. He has saved me hundreds of dollars, possibly thousands. Arguably, this video is reasonably titled - if we don't look after an auto by keeping the fluid clean and taking it easy on power inputs when the box is cold, it will fail by destroying the internals and it will cost. Ultimately its a business Nathan is running, and, he is obligated by the way the platform works to make a lot of content and the headings as attractive as possible.

You are the one!

Man finally
