I have no idea. At first I was confused at which way to turn it... and then I saw the arrows haha. I’m not sure if it’s because my Allen key set was $5 from
Harbor freight. On a side note, did anyone feel a noticeable difference after? I have xhp.. might be placebo but feels like shifts are smoother |

First drive after changing mine yesterday and she feels good. I'd noticed shift quality had dimensioned somewhat after 125k miles. Feels much smoother now. I've only driven about 10 miles so far so we'll see as the miles accumulate.

You changed for the first time at 125k? Dang. ZF suggests to do this at 60k.

I wasn't sure if changing the fluid around that time was a good idea but if everything seems fine it'll def give me more confidence to do my car with 100k miles

Yep, an unfortunate side effect of BMW's "lifetime" marketing.

Does anyone know if the bmw f10 automatic has a transmission oil cooler that is operated by a valve? I heard that some cars that have this need to be driven up to a certain temp in the fluid in order to get the correct level acquired. Don't know if our cars have it though...

FCP allows you to do that? Change out fluids at any time interval and they'll just send you new ones?

I changed my transmission fluid 3 times in 2 months. Not a peep from them, and total cost to me in the end was the price of 1 fluid change.

The instructions from ZF have a flowchart with various YES/NO flows including oil coolers and the like. The BMW process in ISTA (which is what I used when I actually did the work) has no such dependency on opening coolers etc... Obviously opening the cooler would require temperatures WAY higher than for setting level and you need to let it cool 6-8 hours again.
If your car had a cooler that MUST be opened to properly set the level, then ISTA would walk you through that based on your VIN. |
