Hello, today we will look at the process of replacing the oil in automatic transmission by car BMW E39. Automatic gearbox requires special attention and replace oil in it should be carried out during. Some argue that when using an automatic transmission in normal conditions, the oil needs to be changed after 100,000 km of run, but it is not. The oil can become dark after 30,000 km, so changing the oil every 30-50 thousand km depending on your ride style. In general, it is better to regularly check the oil level in the box and its color. Also with the replacement of oil in the box, you need to change the oil filter, since if the oil filter comes into disrepair and do not change it during it, then the box will slowly "die." Before going to change the oil in the box, you should, purchase: New oil in the box, crankcase cover, oil filter in a box, a new washer for a drain and bolt bolt.

To begin with, we drive the car to the pit or raise the lift, remove the engine protection if it is. Now we unscrew the drain plug on the box and drain the exhaust oil into a pre-prepared container. Now unscrew the bolts along the contour of the pallet cover of the box and remove it, be careful on the pallet there are some oil.

Now you need to unscrew the filter, it holds on 3 bolts.

There is also oil in the filter, so remove it gently. Now set a new filter with new bolts. On the pallet lid there is a magnet that collects a metal chips, it needs to be cleaned well. We set the pallet cover to the place with a new gasket, tighten the drain bolt with a new washer and unscrew the bolt bolt. Now, through the filler hole, the syringe is poured with a new oil until it starts to flow, then we twist the cork to the place, we start the car for a few seconds and still fill the oil into the box, again it will not flow, now we will flush the fuel plug with a new washer - ready.

Replacing lubricant in the gearbox is one of the required car maintenance procedures. At the same time, the procedure is actually carried out independently, without the help of specialists. It concerns this and BMW E39: It is easy to replace the oil in the automatic transmission with your own hands. True, it is worth considering that a certain set of tools will be required to replace.

Which oil is better to choose in the automatic transmission on the BMW E39?

The correct replacement of oil in the automatic transmission on the BMW E39 is impossible without the choice of a suitable lubricant. And here you need to remember: automatic transmissions are extremely demanding to the lubrication composition. The use of an inappropriate means will lead to a crash of automatic transmission and premature repairs. therefore it is recommended to fill BMW E39 gearbox original BMW oil. This is liquid C. bMW ATF D2 marking, DEXTRON II D Specification, Article 81229400272.

Original BMW ATF Detron II D

Be sure to remember the article - the marking can be somewhat different, but the figures of the article do not change. The proposed oil is used by the BMW concern when pouring into the fifth series automatic transmission, to which E39 belongs. The use of other options is permissible only when the original lubrication is not available. Select a suitable liquid must be based on official tolerances. I have everything four tolerances: ZF TE-ML 11, ZF TE-ML 11A, ZF TE-ML 11B and LT 71141. And the purchased lubricant must correspond to at least one of them. From the analogs, you can recommend the following:

• Ravenol with article 1213102.
• SWAG with article 99908971.
• Mobil LT71141.

Still need to remember - oil for automatic transmission is used in the power steering hydraulic. Therefore, it is recommended to carry out simultaneous replacement of liquids by buying grease in a volume sufficient for both units. But there is a problem - the manufacturer often does not indicate the required amount of oil for a complete replacement. Therefore, the lubricant for the BMW E39 has to be bought with a margin from 20 liters.

When should I change the oil into the automatic transmission on the BMW E39?

In the question of the periodicity of oil replacement in the automatic transmission in the BMW E39 there are several opinions that do not coincide with each other. The first opinion is the car manufacturer. Representatives of the BMW concern declare: Lubrication in the automatic transmission is calculated for the entire service life of the gearbox. The replacement is not required, the lubricant will not deteriorate regardless of the ride mode. The second opinion is the opinion of many experienced drivers. Auto owners claimthat the first replacement should be carried out after 100 thousand km of run. And all subsequent - every 60-70 thousand km of run. Avtoslesei periodically support one, then the other side.

But how to understand whose opinion is right here? As always, truth is approximately in the middle. Manufacturer Rights - replacing oil in automatic transmission In BMW E39 not mandatory procedure. But this is true only if two conditions are met. The first condition - ride the car will be only on good roads. And the second condition - the driver agrees to change the gearbox every 200 thousand milence. In this case, you can not change the lubricant.

But it is necessary to take into account - BMW E39 was produced from 1995 to 2003. And currently there is no practically a single machine of this series with a mileage of less than 200 thousand km. This means it is necessary to replace the oil in mandatory. And what are there any recommendations for fluid change:

• The lubricant is poured every 60-70 thousand kilometers of run. It is recommended to additionally check the automatic transmission for leakage. It is also worth paying attention to the color of the oil and its consistency.
• Oil is purchased with a margin. It will be required for replacement and for washing the gearbox. The required volume depends on the specific model of automatic transmission. The general recommendation is to fill the lubricant to the lower edge of the fuel hole. The car in the process of fill is required to stand on a flat surface, without inclination.
• You can not mix different brands of liquids. In the course of operation, they react. And this leads to very unpleasant consequences.
• Do not carry out partial oil replacement. In a similar case, the box remains the bulk of dirt and chips, subsequently imperative the work of the node.

Replacement process

The procedure for replacing oil in automatic transmission begins with the purchase of fluid and preparation of tools. The choice of lubricant was already said above. The only addition is to buy the oil with a reserve: a certain amount will go on flushing. The amount of liquid required for cleaning depends on the degree of contamination of the gearbox. The color of the acquired lubricant does not matter. You can not mix oils of various shadeBut for the complete replacement of such restrictions is not available.

List of necessary parts and tools for oil replacement in ACPP BMW E39:

• Lift. The machine is fixed in a horizontal position. It is necessary to hold the wheels in a free, suspended state. Therefore, a pit or an overpass will not fit - the lift will be required. In certain cases, you can use a set of jacks. But they will be obliged to keep the car tightly, in order to avoid unpleasant consequences.
• Hex wrench. Required for drain plug. The size varies depending on the automatic transmission model, and it has to be selected manually. A number of experienced drivers recommend using a adjustable key to unscrewing traffic jams. But it should be used with caution, in order not to deform the item.
• Caid or Horn Key for 10, to unscrew the protection of the crankcase. But it is recommended to prepare and keys to 8 and 12: the size of the bolts' heads is sometimes different.
• A screwdriver with a TORKS cross section, on 27. Need to remove the oil filter.
• New oil filter. When replacing the oil it is worth checking the condition of this spare part. In most cases, it requires a replacement. It is strictly recommended to acquire original BMW spare parts or high-quality analogs available in the region.
• Silicone gearbox gasket. Rubber gasket is not recommended - it often flows.
• Silicone sealant. It is required to install a new gasket after cleaning the automatic transmission.
• Caid-moving key (or ratchet key) to unscrew the bolts holding the pallet. The size of the bolts varies depending on the gearbox model.
• WD-40. Used to remove dirt and rust with bolts. Without WD-40, it is difficult to remove the protection of the crankcase and the DCP pallet (the bolts are baked and not unscrewed).
• Syringe or funnel and hose for pouring new oil. Recommended diameter - up to 8 millimeters.
• Clean rag for rubbing pallet and magnets.
• The hose running on the heat exchanger pipe.
• Means for flushing the gearbox pallet box (optional).
• Capacity for draining spent lubricant.
• USB cable K + DCAN and laptop with the BMW Standart Tools installed. The cable is better to search for the following format: K + DCAN USB Interface (INPA compatible).

It is still recommended to find an assistant. Its main task is to start and swing the engine on time. By the way, there is one important point regarding the washing. Some drivers are recommended to use gasoline or diesel power to clean the pallet. It is not worth doing this: such fluids come into the reaction with oil. As a result - a precipitate appears, the lubricant clogs, the service life of the automatic transmission is reduced.

Last to remember - safety regulations:

• Do not allow liquids into the eyes, mouth, nose or ears. It is also worth working carefully with hot oil, it can leave very unpleasant burns.
• It is necessary to choose a suitable, free clothing for work. It should be remembered - the clothes be sure to be blocked. Do not take what is sorry to spoil.
• The machine must be well fixed on the lift. Any negligence in this matter can lead to serious injury.
• With tools and details, you should contact carefully and gently. Spilled oil can cause fracture, stretching or other injury. The same applies to the wrench abandoned under the legs.

First stage

First stage - drain of spent oilfrom the box itself. First remove the protection of the crankcase. It is recommended to rinse it and process the WD-40 bolts to remove rust and scale. By the way, to unscrew them should be carefully so as not to damage the silhouettes. Plastic pallet is also cleaned. Following the lower part of the gearbox. It is necessary to remove dirt and rust, as well as clean all bolts and corks. Here again WD-40 is useful.

Now you have to find a drain plug. Its location is indicated in the service book, which is recommended to always keep nearby. Finding a drain plug should be from below, on the pallet of the gearbox crankcase. The plug is unscrewed, and the liquid merges into a predetermined container. Then the plug screws back. But this is not a complete drop of oil with automatic transmission on the BMW E39 - you still need to remove the pallet and replace the filter. It looks like the process as follows:

• Carefully unscrew the bolts around the perimeter of the pallet. The pallet is removed to the side, but it is worth remembering - it still remains exhaust oil.
• After removing the pallet with parts in the automatic transmission, the remaining oil will begin to drain. Here it takes a tank for the spent lubricant.
• Oil filter is removed with a screwdriver with a cross section. It is impossible to clean it, here it is necessary to replace. Buy the spare part is on the recommendations from the service book. One of the options recommended by drivers - VAICO oil filters.

But it is necessary to take into account - if you stop at this stage, only 40-50% of the spent lubricant will be removed from the system.

Second phase

In the second stage, active washing automatic transmission (with a working engine) and cleaning of the pallet. It should be started with the removal of spent oil and metal chips from the pallet. It is easy to find the chips - it sticks into magnets, and looks like a dark, black and brown shade. In the launched cases, metal "hedgehogs" are formed on magnets. They must be removed, waste oil - pour, and wash the pallet thoroughly. A number of experienced drivers are recommended to rinse the pallet with gasoline. But this is not the best idea. Workers hundreds believe that special cleaning products should be used.

It is necessary to thoroughly rinse from oil and pallet, and bolts. Then the insulating silicone gasket is removed and replaced with a new one. Yet the gasket is necessarily treated with silicone sealant! Now the pallet is installed in place and carefully fixed. After that, you need to unscrew the filler plug and fill the automatic transmission with oil. It is most convenient to use syringe for these purposes. Fill the transmission to the bottom edge of the filling hole. Then the plug screws into place.

Next, it is necessary find heat exchanger. Externally, it looks like a block like a radiator, with two nozzles located nearby. Accurate description is in the car service book. In the same document, it is necessary to find the direction of movement of the oil through the heat exchanger. Through one of the nozzles in the heat exchanger, hot lubricant comes. And the second serves to output the cooled fluid. It is he who needs for further flushing. The process looks like this:

• From the nozzle removed the oil supply hose. It must be carefully removed to the side without damaging.
• Then another hose of the appropriate size is put on the nozzle. The second end is sent to an empty tank for the drain of the waste oil.
• The assistant is served a signal to start the engine. Speed \u200b\u200bswitching lever should be located in a neutral position. 1-2 seconds of the hose will go dirty oil. Pull out should not less than 2-3 liters. The flow is weakening - the engine is muffled. Important to remember: ACPs should not work in oil starvation mode! In such a mode, wear increases, the parts overheat, which, in turn, will lead to premature repairs.
• The filler plug and the automatic transmission is filled with oil to approximately to the level of the lower edge of the filling opening. The plug screws up.
• The procedure is repeated with the start of the engine and the cleaning through the heat exchanger. It follows to repeat until relatively clean oil is absorbed. It is worth remembering - the lubricant is bought with the calculation of a similar cleaning of the gearbox. But the flushing is not recommended too much, otherwise the lubricant will not remain to fill the gearbox.
• The last stage - the heat exchanger hoses are installed in place.

Now it remains only to fill the automatic transmission oil and deal with the automatic transmission settings.

Third stage

The oil pouring procedure has already been described above. It looks like this: the bay hole opens, the automatic transmission is filled with lubricant, the hole is closed. Pour should be up to the bottom edge. It is worth noting: the color of the fluid does not matter. Suitable for replacement oil can be green, red or yellow. This does not affect the quality of the composition.

But it's too early to start the engine and check the operation of the gearbox. Now need to configure BMW E39 electronics appropriately, if the gearbox is adaptive. It is worth noting - some drivers believe that the setting will be superfluous. But it is better to spend it. The process is as follows:

• A program is installed on the laptop BMW Standart Tools.. Suitable version 2.12. If you need to install it is possible to computer, but it is unlikely that the owner of the car will be a home PC in the garage.
• The laptop connects to the diagnostic OBD2 connector located in the cabin. Define the presence of the automatic transmission program is obliged by default.
• Now in the program you need to find a discharge of adaptation. Here the sequence is as follows:
  • To find BMW 5 Series.. Depending on localization, the name changes. We need a group of cars of the fifth series - it is precisely BMW E39 that belongs to them.
  • Next to find actually E39.
  • Now it is selected TRANSMISSION. - Transmission.
  • Further - Automatic TRANSMISSION, GEARBOX. Either only automatic TransmissionHere it all depends on the version of the program.
  • Latest items: Adaptations.and followed - Erase Adaptations.. There may be several options here several: delete adaptation, resetting settings, reset adaptation. The meaning is that the former settings are reset.

What is required for? Spent the fusion oil on consistency is different from the new liquid. But the automatic transmission is set to work with the old liquid. And therefore, it is necessary to reset the old settings. After that, the gearbox will already be configured to work with the oil used.

Final stage: race gearbox on each of the modes. The machine from the lift is not removed yet. It is necessary to start the engine and drive a car for half a minute in each accessible mode. This will allow the oil to pass throughout the contour. And the system will complete the setting, adapting for a new lubricant. It is strictly recommended to heat the oil up to 60-65 degrees Celsius. Then the automatic transmission is translated into the neutral (the engine is not joined!), And the lubrication again fills in the box. The principle of the former is to fill up to the lower edge of the filling opening. Now the plug screws into place, the motor is muffled and the machine is removed from the lift.

In general, the process is completed. But there are a number of recommendations related to the change of oil. Immediately after replacing, it is desirable to drive at least 50 km in a soft, cycle mode. It is worth remembering: the hard mode of operation is able to provoke an emergency stop. And there is a chance that it will have to reset the emergency program in the official service. Last recommendation: Checking the condition of the oil is worth every year, in addition to the replacement of fluid every 60-70 thousand km of run.

The change of lubricant in the box is one of the non-coron-free car maintenance procedures. With all this, the function is actually carried out without the help of others, without the help of professionals. It concerns this and BMW E39: it is not difficult to replace the oil into the automatic box with your own hands. True, it is worth considering that a certain set of tools will need to shift.

The correct change of oil into the automatic box on the BMW E39 is impossible without the choice of suitable lubricant water. And here you need to understand: the automatic boxes are very demanding to the lubrication composition. The introduction of an inappropriate means will damage the automatic and early repair box. because it is recommended to fill BMW E39 box original oil BMW. This is liquid C. marking BMW ATF D2, DEXTRON II D Specification, Article 81229400272.

Original BMW ATF Detron II D

We certainly need to understand the article - the marking can be somewhat different, but the numbers of the article do not change. The proposed oil is used by the BMW concern when filling in the box of the fifth series, to which the E39 belongs. The implementation of other options is permissible only when the unique lubrication is inexpensive. It is necessary to elect a suitable liquid based on official tolerances. I have everything four tolerances: ZF TE-ML 11, ZF TE-ML 11A, ZF TE-ML 11B and LT 71141. And the acquired grease must correspond to at least one of them. From the analogs you can advise the subsequent:

• Ravenol with article 1213102.
• SWAG with article 99908971.
• Mobil LT71141.

Still need to understand - butter for a box automatic is used in the power steering hydrauloveel. Therefore, it is recommended to simultaneously shift liquids, buying lubricant in a volume sufficient for both units. But there is a penalty - the manufacturer often does not show the required amount of oil for a complete shift. Therefore, the lubricant fluid for BMW E39 has to take with a grain, from 20 liters.

In the question of the periodicity of oil change in a box of a machine gun in BMW E39 there is some of the views that do not match together. 1st worldview - manufacturer of cars. Representatives of the BMW Concern claim: Lubricant in the box The machine is designed for the entire service life of the box. Change is not required, the lubricant will not deteriorate regardless of the ride mode. The 2nd worldview is the worldview of many excellent drivers. Auto owners speakthat the 1st shift should be carried out after 100 thousand square meters. And all the following - every 60-70 thousand square meters. Salemias sometimes support one, then the other side.

But how to realize, whose worldview is right here? As usual, the truth is approximately in the center. Manufacturer Rights - changing butter in a box automatic In BMW E39 is not non-coronible procedure. But it is correct only when complying with 2 criteria. 1st Condition - Ride the car will be only on good roads. And the 2nd condition - the driver agrees to change the box every 200 thousand km of mileage. In this case, you can not change the lubricant.

But it is worth considering - BMW E39 was produced from 1995 to 2003. And currently there is no actually a single machine of this series with a mileage of the least 200 thousand km. This means - to replace the oil is needed in non-invalid order. And what are there any water change tips:

• The lubricant is poured every 60-70 thousand km of mileage. It is recommended to additionally inspect the automatic box for leakage. It is also worth paying attention to the color of oil and its consistency.
• The oil is purchased with a grazing. It will be necessary for shift and for washing the box. The required volume is depending on a specific model of the automatic box. The general recommendation is to fill the lubricant to the lower edge of the fuel hole. The car in the process of fill must stand on a flat surface, without tilt.
• It is impossible to connect different brands of liquids. In the process of use, they react. And this leads to very nasty consequences.
• Do not carry out a partial change of oil. In a similar case, the bulk of the mud and chips remain in the box, then impessing the work of the node.

Under all the listed tips, you can carry out an independent shift of lubricant in the automatic box.

The procedure for changing the oil into the box automaton begins with the purchase of water and preparation of instruments. The choice of lubricant was already said above. The only addition is to buy the oil with a grazing: a certain amount will go on flushing. The amount of water required for cleaning is depending on the degree of contamination of the box. The color of the acquired lubricant does not matter. You can not connect oils of various kolasBut for the complete change of similar restrictions is not available.

The list of the desired parts and tools for changing the oil into the box automatic BMW E39:

• Lift. The machine is fixed in a horizontal position. With all this you need to delay the wheels in a free, suspended state. Therefore, a pit or an overpass is not suitable - the lift will need. In certain cases, you can use the set of jacks. But they will have to firmly delay the car, in order to avoid opposites.
• Hex wrench. Required for drain plug. The size differs depending on the model of the automatic box, and it is necessary to pick it up manually. A number of excellent drivers are advised to use the adjustment key to unscrewing traffic jams. But it should be used with caution so as not to deform the item.
• Caid or horn key on 10, to unscrew the protection of the crankcase. But it is recommended to prepare and keys on 8 and 12: the size of the bolts from time to time is different.
• A screwdriver with a TORKS cross section, on 27. Need to remove the oil filter.
• New oil filter. When changing the oil it is worth checking the condition of this spare part. It almost always requires a change. It is strictly recommended to obtain unique BMW spare parts, or high-quality analogs available in the region.
• Silicone lap pallet box. It is not recommended to receive a rubber gasket - it often proceeds.
• Silicone sealant. It is required to install the newest gasket after cleaning the pallet automatic box.
• Caid-moving key (or ratchet key) to unscrew the bolts holding the pallet. The size of the bolts differs depending on the box of the box.
• WD-40. It is used to remove mud and rust with bolts. Without WD-40, it is difficult to remove the protection of the crankcase and the pallet box of the machine (the bolts are baked and not unscrewed).
• Syringe or funnel and hose for the fill of the new oil. Recommended diameter - up to 8 mm.
• Challenged rag for rubbing pallet and magnets.
• The hose running on the heat exchanger pipe.
• The means for flushing the box of the pallet box (optional).
• Capacity for draining spent lubricant.
• The KDCAN USB cable and a laptop with the Standart Tools BMW software installed. The cable is better to find a subsequent format: KDCAN USB Interface (INPA compatible).

It is recommended to find an assistant. Its main task - room start and jamming the engine. By the way, there is one fundamental point regarding the washing. Some drivers are advised to use gasoline pallet to clean the pallet or diesel fuel. It is not worth doing this: such water react with oil. As a result - a precipitate arises, lubricant clogs, the service life of the box is miniaturized.

The last thing is to understand - safety regulations:

• Do not allow liquids into the eyes, mouth, nose or ears. Still standing closely with hot oil, it can leave very nasty burns.
• You need to pick up suitable, loose clothes for work. With all this it is worth keeping in my head - the clothes will certainly be mastered. No need to take what is sorry to go.
• The machine must be perfectly fixed on the lift. No matter what kind of negligence in this matter can lead to severe injuries.
• With tools and details, you need to turn carefully and carefully. Spilled oil can be a background of fracture, stretching or another injury. This concerns the wrench abandoned under the legs.

1st step - drain of spent oil From the box itself. At first, the protection of the crankcase is removed. It is recommended to wash it and process the WD-40 bolts to remove rust and scale. By the way, to unscrew them is worth careful, so as not to destroy the silhuman brackets. The plastic pallet is also cleaned. Following the lower part of the box. It is necessary to remove the mud and rust, as well as clean all the bolts and corks. Here will need WD-40 again.

Change oil in automatic transmission? or not! And how to change?

Now you need to find a drain plug. Her position is indicated in the service book, which is recommended to always keep close. Find a drain plug need from below, on the pallet crankcase box. The plug is unscrewed, and the liquid is connected to the cooked container in advance. Then the plug screws back. But this is not a complete drop of oil with an automatic box on the BMW E39 - you still need to remove the pallet and replace the filter. It seems the process followed:

• Carefully unscrew the bolts around the perimeter of the pallet. The pallet is removed to the side, but it is worth keeping in the head - there are still spent oil left.
• After removing the pallet with parts in the box, the machine will start to drain the remaining oil. Here again will need a tank for spent lubricant.
• Oil filter is removed with a screwdriver with a cross section. It is impossible to clean it, it certainly requires a change. Take a spare part on the advice from the service book. One of the options recommended by drivers is the oil filters of the VAICO office.

But it is worth considering - if you slow down on this step, only 40-50% of the spent lubricant will be removed from the system.

In the second step, the active washing is made the automatic box (with a working engine) and the purification of the pallet. It should be started with the removal of spent oil and iron chips from the pallet. It is not difficult to find the chips - it sticks into magnets, and looks like a dark, black and brown spike. In the launched cases, iron "hedgehogs" are formed on magnets. They need to be removed, exhaust oil - pour, and paintakingly wash the pallet. A number of experienced drivers are advised to wash the pallet with gasoline. But this is not the best idea. Workers 100 believe that special cleaning products should be used.

It is necessary to frightly wash from the oil and pallet, and the bolts. Then removed the insulating silicone gasket and is replaced with the newest. Yet the gasket is certainly treated with silicone sealant! Now the pallet is installed in place and is fixed painstakingly. After that, you need to unscrew the filler tube and fill the box with an oil machine. It is most convenient to use syringe for these purposes. You need to fill the box to the bottom edge of the plug hole. Then the plug screws into place.

Next need find heat exchanger. It looks like a block like a radiator, with 2 nozzles located nearby. A clear description is in the car service book. In the same document, you need to find the direction of movement of the oil through the heat exchanger. Through one of the nozzles in the heat exchanger, burning grease comes. And the 2nd serves to output the cooled water. Specifically, it is necessary for the upcoming flushing. The process looks like this:

• From the nozzle removed the oil supply hose. It needs to be accurately removed to the side without damaging.
• Then another hose of the appropriate size is put on the nozzle. The 2nd its end is sent to an empty container for the drain of the spent oil.
• Assistant is given a signal to start the engine. Speed \u200b\u200bswitching lever should be placed in a neutral position. 1-2 seconds of the hose will go dirty oil. Pull down should more than 2-3 liters. The flow is weakening - the motor is muffled. Contact your head: Box machine should not work in oil starvation mode! In gential mode, wear increases, the parts are redirected, which, in turn, will lead to early repairs.
• Unscrew the filler plug and the automatic box is filled with oil to approximately the lower edge level of the filling opening. The plug screws up.
• A procedure with a starting motor and cleaning through the heat exchanger is repeated. It should be repeated until it does not yet be cleaned with relatively unpeacted oil. It is worth keeping in your head - the lubricant is bought with the calculation of a similar cleaning of the box. But it is not recommended to get involved in flushing, it does not remain any lubricant to fill the box.
• The final step - the heat exchanger hoses are installed in place.

Now it remains only to fill the box with an oil machine and deal with the options of the automatic box.

The oil pouring procedure has already been described above. It looks like this: the bay hole is revealed, the box automatically filled with lubricant, the hole is locked. Pour should be up to the bottom edge. It should be noted: the color of water does not matter. Suitable for changing the oil can be greenish, reddish or yellowish color. It does not affect the quality of the composition.

But it's too early to launch the engine and inspect the work of the box. Now it is necessary to adjust the electronics BMW E39 Suitable if the box is adaptive. It should be noted - some drivers believe that the setting will be unnecessary. But it is better to spend it. The process looks followedly:

• A program is installed on the laptop BMW Standart Tools.. Suitable version 2.12. As needed, it is possible to install on a computer, but it is unlikely that the owner of the car will be a home PC in the garage.
• The laptop connects to the diagnostic OBD2 connector located in the cabin. Find availability The automatic program must be deflotted.
• Now in the program you need to find a discharge of adaptation. Here the sequence is followed:

• Fly BMW 5 Series.. Depending on localization, the title changes. We need a group of cars of the fifth series - specifically it belongs to the BMW E39.
• Followed by finding actually E39.
• Now it is selected TRANSMISSION. - Box.
• Further - Automatic TRANSMISSION, GEARBOX. Or only automatic TransmissionHere everything is depending on the program version.
• Latest items: Adaptations.and followed - Erase Adaptations.. There may be several options here: erase adaptation, reset options, reset adaptation. The meaning is that the former options are reset.

Why is it required? Spent the fusion oil on the mixture is different from the latest water. But the automatic box is set to work specifically with an old liquid. And therefore, you need a reset of old options. After that, the box will already be tied to work with oil used.

Finishing step: box running on each of the modes. The machine from the lift is not removed yet. You need to start the engine and drive out the car for half a minute in each automatic mode available for the box. This will donate the oil to pass throughout the contour. And the system will graduate with the setting, adapting for the latest lubricant. It is strictly recommended to heat the oil up to 60-65 degrees Celsius. Then the box automatically translates into a neutral (the engine is not joined!), And the lubricant is again fueling into the box. The principle of the former is to fill up to the lower edge of the filling opening. Now the plug screws into place, the motor is muffled and the car is removed from the lift.

In general, the process is completed. But there are a number of tips related to changing oil. After changing, it is better to drive more than 50 km in a soft, trial mode. It is worth keeping in your head: the hard mode of operation is able to provoke an emergency stop. At the same time there is a chance that it will have to reset the emergency program in the official service. Last recommendation: Inspect the condition of the oil costs every year, in addition to the water substitution times in 60-70 thousand square meters.

The plant-manufacturer advises to replace the VAZ 2170 oil in the car in a box through 75 thousand km of run or once every 5 years (depending on what will come earlier). The desired advice is to drain on the car Lada Priora VAZ 2170 oil from the box recommended within 15 minutes after the trip until it has cooled and has a good fluidity ...

To begin with, make sure that the oil in the box is generally replaced, since since 1995, BMW practices the use of "oil for the entire service life of the automatic transmission". Typically, the oil changes every 50-60 thousand. You also need to know which oil is flooded in the box.

Now about the amount of oil. Poured as much as it merged. When replacing the box follows from 2 to 5 liters. It depends on what position the hydrotransformer stopped and this is unpredictable.

The oil filter needs to be bought immediately with the strip of the drive of the automatic transmission.

So, all purchased, the car on the lift. (If you have only a pit, it will not go, since one of the main conditions is exactly the horizontal position of the machine, and the rear wheels must be posted).

We unscrew the drain plug (for a small inner hexagon) and we are waiting for everything to the end allocate, tighten the cork.

We unscrew the drive of the automatic transmission (as a rule head 10). We unscrew it carefully, pre-shed all the bolts in the waist, since the place is dirty and silhoualen, the staples accumulated to the bolts, tend to break. (You can buy in advance just in case 2 angles and 2 direct brackets).

Remove the pallet and change the gasket on it.

We unscrew the filter - usually 3 internal torks by 27.

Remove the filter towards down. Solves some more oil.

We put on the rubber ring from the filter set on the throat of the new filter, if it is nonsense.

We put a new filter and fasten it.

We put and screw the pallet with a new gasket.

(If you failed to buy a new gasket, you can install the old, but then it is necessary to miss it on both sides with silicone sealant). Better new!

Now we will fill the oil. For this operation, 2 people need!

We unscrew the fuel plug (next to the drain, but in the recess and under the large hexagon).

Syringe pour oil until it flows back.

Silly tighten the cork.

The second person sits down the wheel and turns the car.

Again, we unscrew the filler plug (no need to be afraid that the oil rises on the head - after all, the torque transformer works and all the oil it will take into itself) and again pour oil until it flows back.

Silly tighten the cork.

We ask the second to drive the box through all the positions of the selector, to do the same in sports and winter modes (if any), after which there are in "D" mode to accelerate to the speed of 140-160 km / h and follow a clear shift switching.

After that, we translate the box to "n" or "P" mode and last check the oil level - we try to add some more oil until it flows back.

We twist the filler plug, the moola engine.

Hello everyone!

When an error jumped on the dashboard about the gearbox www.drive2.ru/l/466579409587929556/ bought 7l. Mobil LT 71141 oils, filter and gasket. Since the problem was solved because of the chips, the purchased oil for the box decided not to return, but to replace, the more the earlier owner did not do this and I think that no one changed.

Tip: How do we know the cost of the box is not quite cheap and saved on the quality of the oil. Of course, if you can enjoy the original BMW Box oil, but I bought the Mobil LT 71141 oil, but the oil is not bad unlike Mottul, it can be seen by structure. Mobil LT 71141 oil has an orange tint and pretty thick, Mottul oil yellow and liquid, I reminded Sunflower)) and at a price twice cheaper per liter. Also replaced the filter, the crankcase was put on the sealant.

The oil was poured with the engine off, then filled to a certain level turned the engine so that the oil began to spill on the box, put on D then on P and 7l. Wrapped inside my box.

After replacing improvements, I honestly did not feel before replacing the box did not kick, switched smoothly, pleases, of course, the fact that the box is now new oil, and the service life of my tiptronic is still a considerable time.

Thank you all who read the article. If anyone liked, put the husky and subscribe. I will answer any comments. Good repair! While!

Hello everyone! For 3 weeks, I went to services for 3 weeks, I wanted to change the oil into the automatic transmission, I didn't want to climb myself, but people were worked out for so many workers that I had to change the oil myself! Although I got to one service, but there I could not unscrew the bolts From the pallet of Carter (he drove the car into the garage to the pit! He took the chisel and began to unscrew all 20 or how many bolts there! For about an hour, I was happy about everything! But I was pleased with the result! Only after the ability all the bolts I merged the oil and already left the order 4.7 liters! Although I was told that 4-5 liters of oil is enough! Then he removed the pallet and merged about 1.5 liters! And on the replacement I needed about 7 liters of oil! After that, I cleaned the pallet from the bunches (no shavings and I did not find small particles - it was pleased!) But the oil was black! Then he cleaned everything from the old gasket, he washed the magnets, he changed the filter, filled a liter in the pallet and screwed it into place! built a bottle and hose instead of a syringe! Very budget version and practical Irchny)

I poured how much it should be, started, drove on the gears, was still faded until the moment of overflow! Then I went to drop automatic transmission settings! And voila is all good! The difference is felt! Now 1000km also change the oil as much as much and you can roll 60000km calmly)

Replacing oil in automatic transmission 5HP19 - Logbook BMW 5 Series 2003 on DRIVE2

Hello everyone. I discovered some time on the fifth gear in the range of 2000-2500. Having studied the information found out that the main reasons for this two. Locking the torque converter or valve of the torque converter. I decided to go less expensive to replace the valve and at the same time replace the oil, completely. I ordered the valve itself, the filter gasket and oil 10l. Freak will be a bit. The first thing was surprised, the oil was suspended, according to the consistency as a hypoid, that is, very thick and black, smell like a regular transmission. Compared with the smell of oil from the canister, nothing in common. For the external signs before me, no one climbed into the box. I expected to see the pieces of friction and a bunch of shavings, spit, the pallet is clean, the magnets are thin pasta, the pallet. By the way, unscrewing the pallet bolts immediately decided that I would change them to the bolts from the stainless steel. For two reasons. The first - overpay for the original bolts I do not see the point, the second - there will be no rust, which will not cause problems with the next substitute for the oil. Ssed the hydraulicock, without a pit or the kamasutra lift. We looked up all the bolts, then unscrew the bolts in the middle, and put a jack under the plate, the stove is not easy and the lying is not very comfortable. After unscrewed all the bolts, the jack was a bit and disconnected the wires. Voila block in the hands. Theblock inside was not critically dirty. Washed everything, valves, springs. In general, I disassembled the block to the screw. Perfect how to put it decided to wash the system from the old oil. I did it that I disconnected the tube from the box, to one connected the hose for the feed, the hose with the second threw in the basik. Inspection methods of washing learned that gasoline can be used for flushing. They were washed. Flushing reminds the procedure for washing the nozzles. Pump in a bucket with gasoline hose on the highway. I used the container, the air was inserted there to 2ATM. Put in 4 stages, let gasoline on the system, washed all the dirt, then leaving gasoline in the system waited 20 minutes and repeated the procedure. As long as the net is clean. Then everything is the same in the opposite direction. Then washed the system with clean butter. And then everything is simple, block, filter, pallet in place. The pallet was put in order, could not resist, blurted out and painted the heat-resistant paint. The oil was crushed. Still faded, rode, a little more fed. In general, all 10 liters took away. Given the volume of the system 9.5 well, the floor of the liter spent on the flushing after gasoline. Effect after replacing the box and before that it worked smoothly, so I did not notice any changes. The main reason why it was stood all this, disappeared. Now, when driving on the fifth transmission, turns do not fail. Additional to the valve, oil, damping and filter was a bolt from the M6X25 stainless steel bolts with a hex head with a washer and Grover. Carb Cleener- 6 cans.

Something like that.

Replacing the oil in the manual transmission on the BMW E39

BMW E39 is the fourth generation of cars from the Fifth Series, manufactured by the BMW concern since 1972. By mass, the fifth series is in second place among all the cars of this brand. Like all machines of the series, the BMW E39 refers to the representative class. But, although this car is very popular, its maintenance is required. Therefore, experienced drivers prefer to spend on their own. And one of the mandatory procedures is the replacement of transmission oil in the manual transmission.

Insufficient oil in the MCP car

First you should figure out when the oil in the transmission on the BMW E39 should be changed. The obvious option: the lubricant resource has been developed, and it is necessary to fully drain and change the liquid. In the described case, the procedure for changing the oil is usually produced every 35-40 thousand mileage kilometers. The second case is more common - it is a replacement or topping of lubrication fluid in the presence of leaks in the switching box. But here should be taken into account: with serious damage to the transmission of standard replacement, the lubricant is not enough, you will have to do repairs.

But how to understand that in the manual transmission on the BMW E39 insufficient oil? There are a number of features that allow you to determine that in the gearbox or lacks lubricants, or this lubricant has already become unusable:

• A loud knock is heard from the gearbox. When the lubricant is unable to provide a soft, smooth operation of the parts, they begin to face. And not only the noise is important - the details are stepping, the metal chips appears, the backlash appears between the teeth of the gear, and it becomes more difficult to switch gear smoothly. In advanced cases, it is necessary to even change the manual transmission. It is worth remembering - the last machine of the BMW E39 model was released in 2003. And the gearbox in any case is already very worn. Therefore, the lack of oil in it is felt immediately.
• There are problems when switching speeds. The driver notices that it is more difficult to switch to speed, periodically the switching lever knocks out of the transfer (in a neutral position), the switching is uneven, a characteristic knock is heard, the car twisted at each transition from transmission transmission.
• Changes oil consistency. Initially, lubricant is a homogeneous light liquid. But the spent lubricant is thick, darkest (to a dark brown or black shade). Enclosures of soot, dirt and chips appear. In the event of rare trips, the oil is smelled: the top part remains brighter, liquid fractions, and at the bottom there is a dense layer of the sediment resembling Il.
• Oil drills appear on the gearbox. If the oil follows from the manual transmission, it happens due to damage to the body or sealing pads. In the described case, it is recommended to add lubricating fluid to the desired level and contact professionals (at the maintenance station) for repair.
• The fuel consumption increases, the speed of driving is reduced. With a lack of oil (or the development of its resource), additional friction occurs, slowing down shafts and, as a result, the vehicle speed. But here it is recommended to check: it is likely that the problem is not in the gearbox, but in the engine or gearbox.

In the event of one of these features, it is worth using a special probe to check the amount of fluid in the gearbox. When lacking should be added to the lubricant to the required level, or replace it and fill it up with a new MCP.

How to replace the oil in the manual transmission on the BMW E39?

Preparations for the replacement of oil in the manual transformation into the BMW E39 is conditionally divided into three main stages: the choice and acquisition of a suitable lubricant, select the necessary tool and prepare the car itself to replace the oil (in compliance with the safety regulations). Each of the steps should be considered separately.

Choosing a suitable transmission oil for BMW E39

Currently there are three main varieties of lubricants: synthetic, semi-synthetic and mineral. And it is desirable to take mineral oil for BMW E39: it is recommended that it is recommended for old cars. And among the fourth-generation cars, the BMW fifth series does not have a single younger than 15 years. Synthetic and semi-synthetic suitable for newer cars. Although at the normal state of the gearbox and compliance with oil, all specifications may be approached with certain synthetic or semi-synthetic compositions.

According to the specification, it is worth choosing the API GL-4 liquid, with a viscosity level of 75W-80 or 75W-90. The 75W label indicates that the minimum operating temperature is -40 degrees Celsius. And the second digit 80 or 90 means that the maximum temperature is +35 degrees Celsius. If there is no original MTF LT-2 lubrication liquid, you can stay on the products of other companies, for example, Motul, Mobil1 or Castrol (in particular, Castrol Syntrax Longlife 75W-90 is recommended). It is still recommended to check the sticker on the MCPP housing - the recommended lubricating fluid is written on it.

Castrol Syntrax Longlife 75W-90 oil:

Preparation of the required tool

For a successful oil change, a large number of tools is required. Here you will need the following list:

• Tool for opening a drain plug. And there is one problem here - depending on the type of gearbox, the type of cork (depends on the year of release and the gearbox model). Therefore, a cape or horn key can be useful, a star screwdriver (TORX variety) or the end key. But there is a universal advice from experienced drivers: a drain plug is easily unscrewed with a gas key. It is only important in the process not to bend it and not damage.
• Capacity for draining waste oil. Here it will take a small peer (preferably - metallic), 2.5-3 liters volume. A larger amount is not required, in the transmission BMW E39 is placed up to 2 liters of lubrication, depending on the year of production and the installed manual transmission.
• Stoppers for installation under the wheels. It is recommended to use them, according to safety regulations.
• Tool for filling the oil into the switching box. Here it will take a syringe or a funnel with a hose (the hose should be easily passing into the filling hole and wear it tightly on the funnel).

Separately, it is worth mentioning the compositions for cleaning the gearbox. They are used only with a complete replacement of oil, and are used to remove dirt, metal chips and spent lubrication residues. Therefore, if a complete replacement of lubricating fluid is planned, it is recommended to purchase appropriate means for cleaning MCP in advance.

Preparation of the car to the replacement of oil

For a comfortable replacement of oil in the manual transmission in the BMW E39 it is worth installing a car on the overpass or above the observation pit: for normal access to the bottom of the machine and the drain traffic of the gearbox. Be sure to put a car on the handbrake, and fix it by installing special stoppers for each of the wheels. It is still recommended to put the machine "in speed" (for the first or rear transmission). But it is done in cases where there is no analysis and repair of the switching box.

Then it is worth disconnecting the crankcase protection and remove it to the side (in the case of a complete, and not partial replacement of lubrication). And after that, it is not superfluous to flushing the gearbox and adjacent nodes. In principle, the MCP is not necessarily washing, but it is desirable - then the dirt will not come into the oil.

Important moment - oil is worth merging with a warm gearbox. But it is not recommended to work with hot lubrication liquid, in order to avoid burns. It is advisable to warm up the manual transmission, and then give it a slightly cool (if necessary). And you need to remember: the speed switch is heated when the car moves. Engine warming on it weakly affects, so it is useless to keep the car at idle.

Partial oil change in mechanical gearbox

Partial oil replacement in the IPAM BMW E39 is carried out by an independently inexperienced driver. In fact, it is not a replacement, but topping the lubricant to the required level. But it is necessary to take into account - if the oil is constantly decreasing, then you need to check the gearbox for damage (the state of sealing pads is selected). If necessary, repairs are made, and not on their own, but in the selected service center or at the maintenance station.

Before pressing the oil, it is recommended to check the condition of the existing liquid. If it is dark color, thick and with splashes of soot or chips - it is recommended to drain it and fill with a new lubricant. Topping the liquid should be done through the bay hole or (depending on the gearbox model) through the screw hole.

Separately, it is worth mentioning the situation with mixing various types of lubrication. Transmission oils differ in a set of additives, viscosity, chemical composition of the main liquid and other properties. And it also applies to even lubricants related to one type (according to the classification of API, viscosity, etc.). Therefore, it is not recommended to mix different oils (excluding situations when there is no choice). This applies, among other things, the liquids from one manufacturer.

Under the hood BMW E39:

Two main ways of fillings used by drivers - with a syringe or funnel with a hose. The process of tall oil looks like:

• With a syringe. In the syringe (the more its volume - the better) the lubricating fluid from the canister is gaining and poured into the gearbox. Fill it up to the bottom edge of the hole.
• With the help of a funnel and hose. One end of the hose is put on a funnel (it is desirable to further fix it), the second is shoved into the bay hole. Then the oil is poured into the funnel. Pouring follows as in the previous method - to the bottom edge of the opening.

Filling the manual transmission with oil is recommended to check the behavior of the car on the road: smoothly whether the transmissions are switched, there is no knock and so on. Driving 15-20 km should look into the gearbox, and see the condition of the oil - color, consistency, presence or absence of mud and chips . And on the basis of the information available to decide: it is necessary to fully change the oil, take a car to repair or you can ride further.

Full oil change in manual transmission

The complete replacement of oil in the manual transmission on the BMW E39 is done with their own hands without any problems. At the same time, there is a very simple answer to the question "how much to pour": to the lower edge of the fuel hole. Moreover, no more than two liters of transmission oil for complete replacement are required. But first it is recommended to thoroughly rinse the gearbox from the remnants of the spent lubricant.

True, before washing the manual transmission, it is necessary to remove the exhaust oil. Drain lubricant is easy: the tank is substituted for the spent oil, and the drain plug is neatly unscrewed (with the already removed crankcase). Now it is necessary to wait until the whole "testing" is found. Then the plug screws up, and you can move to the flushing process.

There are three basic washing options:

• Standard transmission oil. A liquid is used similar to that poured into the manual transaction when replacing. The flushing process is as follows - the grease is poured into the speed switching box, 2-3 days the machine is actively used, then the liquid is merged. If necessary (depending on the state of the fusion oil), the procedure is repeated.
• Wash oil. Washing oils are designed specifically for removing dirt, soot and chips from the gearbox. But it is worth remembering: among BMW E39 there are no new cars. And there are not all flushing oils for them (for example, no means for manual transmission operating on the synthetics) are suitable. Moreover, many experienced drivers believe that it is impossible to use washing oils on old BWM models (to which BMW E39).
• Compositions for quick flushing. These are special funds fill in 5-10 minutes, which are very effectively removed dirt and remnants of testing from the manual transmission. The compositions differ in the method of application and efficiency. The application method is always described on the package, so drivers are recommended to carefully read the instructions. For BWM E39, the compositions used to clean the gearbox from mineral transmission oils are selected.

And in itself, auto owner oil often add compounds for soft cleaning of MCPP. They prevent the appearance of soot and dirt, extend the service life of the gearbox and make an unnecessary flushing process (with a timely replacement of oil). Another important point is not to wash with kerosene or diesel. This can lead to a variety of problems (the most obvious problem is premature car repair).

The process of fill the oil is not distinguished by complexity. Before it holds, a drain plug is necessarily tightly and the crankcase protection is installed in place. And then the oil is poured by one of the methods described above - with a syringe or with a funnel and hose. The volume of the oil used is specified in the service book, but for BMW E39 it does not exceed 2 liters, regardless of the engine. At the same time, after the fill of the new lubricant, it is recommended for 1-2 days to ride carefully, checking how the machine behaves on the road.
