4.0 Checking Transmission Fluid Level
Due to the substantial expansion of transmission fluid when heated it is only possible to measure the oil
level correctly at specified oil temperatures (after driving a distance of about 12 mi./20 km). All
transmissions should be checked between a
ZF 3HP and 4HP
Due to the substantial expansion of transmission fluid when heated it is only possible to measure the oil
level correctly at specified oil temperatures (after driving a distance of about 12 mi./20 km).
A5S 560Z, A5S440Z, GA6HP19Z, GA6HP26Z, GA6HP26Z, A5S325Z, A5S 310Z
All 5 and 6 speed transmissions require the fluid to be checked when fluid temperature is between 30-
50° Celsius using DIS Plus or GT1. Do not check fluid level after temperature has exceeded 50° Celsius.
A4S 270R, A4S 310R and A5S 360R
See appropriate AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION article for fluid level check procedure. These
transmissions generally do not have a dipstick and fluid level check (if necessary) must be performed
through the oil fill hole.
Transmission Fluid Checking Procedures
Transmission fluid checking is accomplished using the DISplus or GT-1. The DISplus or GT-1 is used to
monitor transmission fluid temperature to insure the transmission is not over or under-filled. As with most

other current ZF transmissions there is no dipstick, the fluid level is checked and filled at the fill plug. The
location of the fill plug varies between transmissions.
Transmission fluid should be checked between 30 and 50 degrees Celsius (unless otherwise specified).
Use the DISplus and/or GT-1 to determine transmission temperature. The transmission temperature
information can be found in the diagnosis section under Service Functions.
Proper procedures for checking and filling transmission fluid can be found in BMW Service Information
Bulletin B 24 01 98.
When checking transmission fluid, observe the following items:

Transmission in Park
Parking brake applied
Engine Running
Vehicle level
No engine load
Trans Temp 30-50C
Observe correct drain plug torque

When replacing parts on transmissions that use lifetime fluid, drain fluid into a clean container and
reuse.

The following procedure applies to replacing 1 liter of ATF with 1 liter of Life Guard Fluid One additive.
BMW part number: 83 29 0 422 194
A distinction must be made here between transmissions with plastic oil sumps and sheet metal oil
sumps!
IMPORTANT: A sticker indicating that 1 liter of ATF has
been replaced with 1 liter of Life Guard Fluid One additive must
be stuck to the oil sump! If a sticker is already attached, do not
under any circumstance repeat the replacement procedure
again!
WARNING: Read and follow safety instructions on the
bottle of the ZF Life Guard Fluid One additive.
1. Transmission with plastic oil sump:
When engine is stopped, open 8 A/F transmission filler plug (1) and drain off 1 liter of transmission
