Manual gearbox oil service
Currently at the dealership for my first scheduled oil change service (2010 335i coupe) and requested to have my manual transmission oil changed on my own dime and was told they are sealed units and no fluid changes are necessary! Can this be true? Anyone:

Yes it's considered lifetime fluid so not covered under warranty maintenance plan, so you'll need to find an independent shop to do it..

If I read it correctly
You took your 2010 335i with approximately 15000 miles on it to the dealer and requested a change to your transmission fluid.
I am surprised they didn't want to do it - as it is pretty simple and puts dollars in their pockets, but at the same time, I don't know that it is necessary. I am no oil expert, and I do change the BMW lifetime fluids with greater frequency than every 100k miles, but I would say that every 15k might be more than necessary. Now to apply my protection.... -Tom |

So BMW Indy shop here I come and thereafter every 30K probably, as specified in Mike Miller's Old School Maintenance Schedule. |
