80,000 kilometers to 4S maintenance, the service consultant suggested that I change the transmission oil. The price is 5500, which can be 20% off.
My friend’s X5 is maintenance-free for life. I still don’t understand whether maintenance-free means that you don’t need to change the gearbox oil. After consulting BMW’s official after-sales service, they told me that we needed to find a dealer for this, and they handed it over to the dealer after the after-sales service. I wipe
My friend is quite firm and has always insisted on not changing the gearbox oil. I’m not as bold as him (mainly because I have no money). It costs tens of thousands of yuan to change the gearbox, and it’s much cheaper to change the oil. I’d better be careful and change the oil!

I found a familiar repair shop (I had sprayed paint here before, and I felt that they were very attentive), used ZF original transmission oil and oil pan, and replaced the air compartment and air conditioning compartment together.
The prices are as follows: (1) 85 air compartment, 98 air conditioning compartment (2) gearbox oil 165*7 liters, gearbox oil pan 580, working hours: 280

I don’t know if it’s dirty or not

I am very satisfied with the oil change this time. The main reason was that the master was serious and responsible. After changing the oil, he repeatedly wiped and observed it for a long time (to check whether there was any oil leak). At the same time, two apprentices followed for inspection.
After changing the oil, I went for the test run and found no abnormalities. No oil leaks were found.

This repair shop is in Longquan, Chengdu. Friends who need it can ask me privately. Eliminate suspicion of advertising

It rains overnight, and you can’t find it until it rises. I have to eat more wolfberry…

Sure enough, the right exhaust hole will open, but it will not always open. It will only open when you step on the accelerator.
