[QUOTE="Juan Powerblow, post: 121471, member: 20"] I changed my transmission fluid late last year and felt the gearbox performance improved big time and will be changing again every 20K kms. I think there's no such thing as lifetime oil and the criteria for "lifetime" of a car in Germany is about 5 years. So, after 5 years, the transmission can kaput. Changing the oil should improve the transmission's lifespan, I think. Yes, I'm driving a 2001 E46 and this news is worrying me shitless. P.S. The most important thing about changing transmission fluids is the appropriate specification of fluids and making sure its sealed properly! [/QUOTE]
