2013 BMW 320i Transmission Flush

A transmission flush is usually twice the price of a fluid change due to the amount of laborious time the service takes and the fact that the flush not only replaces the fluid in the pan but also removes needless fluid from the cooler lines and other parts of your important transmission. A 2013 BMW 320i transmission flush also uses about 10 quarts of fluid to completely clean and flush out the system.

How do you know if you need a Transmission Fluid Change or Transmission Flush?

A transmission flush is only necessary if your system contains rampant dirt or debris. If the fluid is extremely dark or contains other sediments, we would recommend a complete system flush instead of only just exchanging the fluid. If you'd like one of our experienced and skillful BMW 320i technicians to carefully examine your transmission fluid, book your transmission service online or give Plaza BMW a call at 3145823628.

2013 BMW 320i Automatic vs Manual Transmission

Automatic and manual transmission will often require a variety of different fluids. Automatic transmission fluids are typically thinner and are often red or green in color. Manual transmission fluid or gear oil is more burly and thicker due to additives and other important compounds necessary to lubricate the gearbox and other components. Manual transmissions have a higher friction environment due to the way gears are changed, thus the lubricant is vastly different.

Not only are the fluids different between manual and automatic transmissions but the level of heat the fluids experience is very different. Automatic transmissions generate substantial heat and thus the fluid in your transmission must be changed more frequently. If you don't change your 2013 BMW 320i transmission fluid, your transmission will have hazardous broken metal shavings and other corrosive material spread throughout the vital components of your 2013 BMW 320i. You should frequently check the fluid levels between your fluid and transmission flush service intervals. In many cases, manual transmissions don't come equipped with a dipstick to check your fluid levels, so it can be extremely difficult to do. Call or visit Plaza BMW for more information if your transmission doesn't contain a dipstick.

2013 BMW 320i Transmission Replacement

Car transmissions are extremely complex. Deciding on whether to totally rebuild or replace a bad transmission can be exceedingly difficult. Often, the deciding factor is determining which components are bad or failing. During a rebuild, Plaza BMW will completely disassemble your 2013 BMW 320i transmission and carefully clean and inspect every single part. This requires very extensive knowledge of not only the components of the transmission, but the cost of repair versus replacement. It also requires knowing which parts are compatible.
