All, Hoping to get some help. Went to leave my son's Lacrosse game and the CEL light came on. Got home and ran Torque. PCM is showing a P2097 code being stored. Fault log report generated by Torque for Android ================================================= Vehicle VIN: 1YVHZ8CH2A5M03291...

I was able to find a complete transmission flush kit for $265 that included a pan/filter, new fill plug, and 6 liters/quarts of ZF LifeGuard 6 fluid. My transmission should be good as new once I get everything swapped.

Great information everyone. Well I ended up going with the same Mobil 1 0w40 since I came across it for $4.99 a quart. I couldn't pass that up. So not only did a I get a great price on Mobil 1 I also ended up with a LL-01 approved oil again.

Originally Posted By: Quattro Pete Which Mobil1 grade are you using? Is it the 0w-40? If so, it has been reported to make some BMW engines a bit more noisy, at least in the past with prior M1 formulations. I get a bit of lifter tick in my m54 as well, and I've tried various oils with no...

I am sure some of you have seen my Redline oil question in the general engine oil forum. I wanted to create a new thread to find out if any BMW owners are running Redline D4 ATF fluid in their ZF 6-speed AT. I am approaching 80k on my 2006 BMW 325i and am looking at getting all drivetrain fluids...

I should add that the other issue that brought be to consider redline is the lifter tick that the N52 engine is known for. For those that do not know about this it is basically caused from not enough oil getting to the lifters to keep them quiet. I was thinking a slightly thicker oil might allow...

I am currently running Mobil 1 in my 2006 BMW 325i and am looking at going with a different oil this time. Has anyone here ran Redline 5w30 in their bimmer? Does anyone have thoughts on running Redline in my BMW?
