Where is the transmission fluid dipstick for a 2000 bmw 528i

The automatic transmission fluid fill location on a 2008 BMW 650i can vary depending on the specific model and transmission type, but generally it is located under the hood and accessed through a dipstick tube.

To locate the dipstick tube for the automatic transmission fluid, follow these steps:

1. Open the hood of the vehicle and locate the transmission fluid dipstick. The dipstick handle is usually yellow, red, or black and is labeled with "ATF" or "trans."
2. Remove the dipstick from the tube and wipe it clean with a lint-free cloth or paper towel.
3. Reinsert the dipstick all the way back into the tube and then remove it again. The fluid level on the dipstick should indicate the current level of transmission fluid.
4. If the fluid level is low, you will need to add automatic transmission fluid. To add fluid, remove the dipstick and use a funnel to pour the fluid into the dipstick tube. Be sure to use the correct type of transmission fluid specified in your owner's manual.
5. Check the fluid level again with the dipstick to make sure it is at the correct level. Add more fluid as needed.

Note: It is important to follow the recommended procedure for checking and adding transmission fluid to your BMW 650i to avoid overfilling the system, which can cause damage to the transmission. If you are unsure about the location of the dipstick or how to properly add fluid, consult your owner's manual or a qualified mechanic for assistance.

You might want to go to an AutoZone they might do it for you for free if you ask them for help. Answer right fender side, cap says brake fluid.

fluid to what

P0735 - 5th Gear Incorrect Ratio

Possible Causes:
- Low transmission fluid level
- Dirty transmission fluid
- Shift solenoids faulty
- Transmission mechanical problems
- Transmission hydraulic control circuit

Hi there,

Transmission Fluid is the lifeblood of your auto and considered to be the one of the most critical components for a good working transmission, as the chemical makeup & viscosity of the fluid helps determine correct pressure and shifting. For this reason, use only BMW specified fluid - DO NOT use any non-approved fluid.

Measuring correct transmission fluid level is done after the engine/trans has WARMED UP.

If you measured your transmission fluid level using a dipstick, then you generally add BMW spec fluid through the same tube as the dipstick. CAUTION: never overfill the transmission, as excess fluid will cause 'foaming' and this usually creates further shifting issues.

If you have determined the fluid is low, the trans components will still function, but any attempt to operate the transmission in DRIVE with inadequate fluid, will likely cause unneccessary damage.

If there is no dipstick present, then this model BMW (much like the Merc's) denies you the ability to change your trans fluid yourself. This is a precautionary measure by the manufacturer to prevent the owner from changing the fluid. Instead, the workshop will have a special tool to measure the fluid level.

Cheers,

if no dipstick then its underneath ,if a dipstick then down the hole

Hey

They don't put a fill tube on them . It's suppose to be life time fluid. Must be filled from the fill hole and the plug is on the right rear side of the trans.

Hope this has helped

add transmission fluid. DOT 4 is reverse compatible with DOT 3. the car must be at running temp to do this. the car must be running to add fluid. the car must be level to do this. The new fluid must be pumped in. That being said......the local quick lube place is the best place to go. Too many people crush themselves under a running car to safely do it themselves.

you have a GM 4l30e transmission. sealed. replace the filter and fluid.

could be a solenoid problem as well, but go for the filter and fluid 1st.

low fluid.

no dipstick. sealed unit. GM4L30E transmission. drop the two pans, replace the filter. fill the pans with fluid, re-attach pans, pump fluid into upper fill hole when it is at operating temp and level. when it starts to dribble out of the fill hole at operating temp and car is level.....you've go enuf fluid in it.

shazaaaam!
