Manual transmission fluid or gear oil is thicker due to additives and distinctive compounds essential to lubricate the gearbox and distinctive components. Manual transmissions have a higher friction environment due to the way gears are changed, thus the lubricant is understandable.

Not only are the fluids further between manual and automatic transmissions but the level of heat the fluids experience is very further. Automatic transmissions generate a lot more heat and thus the fluid in your transmission must be changed more commonly. If you don't change your BMW transmission fluid, your transmission will have broken metal shavings and further corrosive material spread throughout the basic components of your BMW. You should commonly check the fluid levels between your fluid and transmission flush service intervals. In many cases, manual transmissions don't come equipped with a dipstick to check your fluid levels, so it can be extremely difficult to do. Call or visit Richmond BMW for more information if your transmission doesn't contain a dipstick.
