How do you check the ATF on a BMW 325i?

Answer 1

Answer.Depending on what year model we are talking about.If it has a dipstick then checking is easy, and topping up can be achieved via the dipstick tube (usually located at the rear of the engine compartment, and coloured yellow, as against red for the engine).If it has no dipstick, then it has "lifetime" oil in the transmission, and does not need changing. It may need topping up from time to time though, due to seal leakage.It can be checked by raising the car on a hoist, ensuring that it is level, and removing the filler plug in the base of the oil pan.Topping up is done by pumping the special oil (Castrol Transmax Z is compatable) into the hole until it overflows out, and inserting the plug quickly.
