Re: Changing fluid in a ZF6..... (Subdriver)
FYI, I got 3 bottles of the Castrol oil from my local BMW dealer, and each one was $14!! :eek: :shocked: . Oh, well, at least they had it in stock. I will attempt the change maybe this weekend. Thanks for the great info :seeya

John,
I just got back from Brecht BMW in Escondido where I picked up five quarts of Castrol TWS 10W-60 oil. (It was $9 a quart) So when you come down, I have plenty for both our cars.
You buy the pizza......:thumbs:
Edit: More precisely, it was $8.95 a liter, which is about 1.057qt.

Definitely go with the Castrol/BMW oil. Bill's not the only one that recommends it, if you visit ZF's web page you'll find they recommend it also. Also, it should be changed every 30,000 miles.
