6MT Gear Lube
I've ordered a 2018 M240i with the 6MT. This will be my 5th BMW. I've always maintained my cars as I have access to lifts at a nearby military base. I've always over-maintained my cars with 7000mile oil/filter changed, annual MT lube changes, etc.
So, what type of gear lube is in the 6MT? Is the tranny made by ZF? Redline's website isn't any help! |

According to ZF the lube must be one one the following:
Pentosin FFL-3 BMW Oil No. 8322 2167 666 (MTF-LT-5) Daimler Oil No. A 002 989 04 03 (Getriebeöl ET) JLR Oil No. GX73-M1R564-AA. |

Annual MT fluid change is a huge waste of time and money. I used to do it every 30-40k before and recently spoke to BMW private tech, he said not to bother with it at least till 50k. He owns a shop and never touched it in his 08 M3

I put RedLine D4 ATF in mine. I also did a Blackstone sample and got good feedback from 71,321 miles on the factory stuff. In 30,000 miles I'm doing another sample to compare.

I think the 235i uses a GS6-45BZ made by ZF....I finally found it on realoem.

got my fluid changed. Feels noticeably smoother, especially on the 1-2 shift. Not dramatic but definitely noticable.
