I recently purchased a BMW M5 and I'm wondering how often I should change the transmission fluid. I've heard varying opinions and I want to make sure I'm taking proper care of my car.
ReplyThe transmission fluid in a BMW M5 should be changed every 30,000 miles or every 2-3 years, whichever comes first. Neglecting to change the transmission fluid can lead to decreased performance and potential damage to the transmission. Make sure to follow the recommended maintenance schedule for your specific year and model of the BMW M5.
It's always a good idea to check the color and level of your transmission fluid regularly. If the fluid is dark or has a burnt odor, it may be time for a change. Also, if you frequently drive in heavy traffic or tow heavy loads, it's recommended to change the transmission fluid more frequently. Keep an eye on your BMW M5's performance and maintenance schedule to determine the best schedule for your specific driving habits.
In my personal experience, I've found that changing the transmission fluid every 50,000 miles or every 4-5 years is sufficient for maintaining the performance of my BMW M5. However, I don't do a lot of stop-and-go driving and mostly use my car for highway driving. It's important to consider your own driving habits and adjust your maintenance schedule accordingly.
