Hello Oilmansi,
I am doing a repair on the hydraulics of my SSG gearbox, the exact fluid is Pentosin CHF11s. Is there an alternative as it seems it is only available in the US or main dealer at BMW.
Thanks in advance

Hello.
I've been told by 328mark that you're the forum guru on oils. Just wondered if you could have a read of my post below that 328mark replied to and lend me your advice?
Many Thanks

Hi
From reading many threads about changing manual gearbox oil I've found most people seem to favour Redline D4 ATF gear oil.
I've spoken to a Redline supplier who tells me not to use this oil as it goes very thin at high temp and leaks past the gearbox seals. Fine for competition they say but not normal road use. Anyone had this problem using D4 ATF? They recommended using a good quality 75w90 GL-4. What does everyone else think?
Plus, whats the oil capacity of the gearbox in litres?
