The gearbox oil of the BMW 3 Series needs to be changed. The fifth-generation 3-series uses a 6at gearbox, and the sixth- and seventh-generation 3-series all use ZF’s 8at gearbox. All gearbox oil needs to be changed. For AT gearboxes, the transmission oil not only plays the role of lubrication and heat dissipation, but also plays the role of power transmission.

There is a hydraulic torque converter between the gearbox and the engine. This part is filled with transmission oil, and the hydraulic torque converter relies on transmission oil to transmit power. It is recommended to change the transmission oil every 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. It is recommended that car enthusiasts use the cycle machine oil change method when changing the transmission oil, and choose the original transmission oil. The cycle machine oil change method can drain the old transmission oil in the transmission more cleanly. When changing the transmission oil, the filter element of the transmission oil should also be replaced together, and the transmission oil pan should also be rinsed clean. ZF's 8at gearbox oil pan is made of composite material rather than metal, so be careful not to damage it during disassembly and flushing. AT gearbox is a kind of gearbox with the highest R&D and production cost, the most mature technology and the most widely used. The shift smoothness of the AT gearbox is also better than that of the dual-clutch gearbox. Many high-end luxury cars use AT gearboxes.
