TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGE IN YOUR DRIVEWAY - DIY (BMW 5 E60 ZF transmission)

In this video I´ll show you how to change the transmission fluid in your ZF 6 speed transmission. In this case in BMW 5 series E60 model. This is a common 6 speed ZF unit, so this procedure will apply for other makes and models too. This is the facelifted model of E60 with electronic gear selector. There might be small differences, if you have an older model.

---WARNING--- this job requires spending a lot of time under your car. If you do not have proper tools to lift up and securely support your car, DO NOT attempt to do this.
Also, I am not a professional mechanic. Should you follow this tutorial, you do so at your own risk...
_____________________________

I used four jack stands with 3 tone capacity each and I also left my floor jack under the front jacking point just to be sure.

You will need:
6-7 litres of ZF LIFEGUARD 6 fluid (yellow)
new oil pan with integrated filter and gasket
new set of bolts for the pan and a fill plug
hex bits 8 + 10 mm
torx T40
torque wrench
drain pan
hand pump

some brake cleaner spray
and something on the floor to prevent stains

Ask me anything if you have any questions.
