We're back with another DIY video to show you how to change the manual transmission fluid on a 2006 BMW 325xi. This procedure should be the same for nearly all manual transmission BMWs, so let's get started!
Tools Required:
- 8mm Socket
- 8mm Hex Socket
- Drain Pan
- Fluid transfer pump
- Manual transmission fluid
Tips:
- Remove the fill plug first, then the drain plug. (If the fill plug is stuck and you drain the fluid, you'll need to get creative)
- Ensure the car is on a level surface when filling
- Fluid will seep out of the fill plug to indicate when the transmission is full
- Use brake clean to remove excess oil off of the transmission case when done
