I am planning to change my BMW 330Ci auto trans fluid soon and
I thought I would compare these three ATF fluids.
ESSO LT71141 is the recommended fluid.
Dave at Redline suggested the D4.
Castrol Import Multi-Vehicle says it is for use where ESSO LT 71141 is required.
Looks like the Redline D4 is the winner!
