Yes. Redline D4 ATF. I have a 540i that uses Shell LA2634 ATF. Supposedly a "lifetime fluid
" The Redline D4 was the only alternative I could locate. If you email redline USA they'll tell you to use their D4 ATF. The Aussie Redline site has a chart for cross-ref different fluids including yours.
So 1maniac do you have the Aussie Redline chart address? Please tell me and thanks a lot!
yeah its http://www.redlineoil.com.au/oil-finder.asp On the first chart select " Xref America's Most Popular" Second select " Oil Brand Xref." Third select "Auto Trans Oil ."
So 1maniac how's your transmission work with the redline D4? Any problems?
When I got this car I seriously doubt the ATF had ever been changed and the transmission had a harsh up shift but no TRANS PROGRAM error message. I drained and filled several times with the Redline D4 ATF and changed the filter and the car shifts better then ever. This was almost two years ago. I also do some pretty "spirited driving
" so I feel I test this cars ability pretty frequently.
I just did a drain and fill about two months ago and the fluid was cherry red in color. Redline makes some good stuff IMO.
