BMW X3 Automatic vs Manual Transmission

Automatic and manual transmission will typically require divergent fluids. Automatic transmission fluids are commonly thinner and are typically red or green in color. Manual transmission fluid or gear oil is thicker due to additives and back-up compounds crucial to lubricate the gearbox and back-up components. Manual transmissions have a higher friction environment due to the way gears are replaced, thus the lubricant is divergent.

Not only are the fluids contrasting between manual and automatic transmissions but the level of heat the fluids experience is incredibly contrasting. Automatic transmissions generate a lot more heat and thus the fluid in your transmission must be replaced more continually. If you don't change your BMW X3 transmission fluid, your transmission will have broken metal shavings and contrasting corrosive material spread throughout the crucial components of your BMW X3. You should continually check the fluid levels between your fluid and transmission flush service intervals. In copious cases, manual transmissions don't come equipped with a dipstick to check your fluid levels, so it can be extraordinarily difficult to do. Call or visit Richmond BMW for more information if your transmission doesn't contain a dipstick.
