ATF for the newer bmw's

[Bill R.]

I'm always looking for atf that will work in the v8's and all the newer zf transmissions, at a reasonable price.
We recently bought some of this fluid that meets almost everybodies specs and if you can buy from them the price is very
good. Around 3.75 a quart for a commercial account. The castrol import atf i have been using in all the newer cars keeps going
up and up in price. The website is here (http://www.service-pro.com) Alot of you won't have a distributor nearby for it but its worth checking with any shops you know of.

I just had a ZF 5HP done. This perhaps explains why I was only charged $40 for fluid which made me a bit nervous knowing what the Shell LA whatever costs.
I'll inquire Monday as to what my trans builder used. Perhaps I'm the forum's test subject then.

Hi Shogun, actually it was the Multi-Vehicle syn blend atf that we got for 3.75 a quart. It seems to cover most of the bmw specs that i have.
The full synthetic covers toyota ws as well but we didn't price it yet.
