I have a 2016 BMW 5 Series and I am unsure of how to check the transmission fluid levels. Can you please provide instructions for this?
ReplyFirst, make sure your car is on a level surface and the engine is warm (but not hot). Locate the transmission fluid dipstick, which is typically near the back of the engine on the driver's side. Pull out the dipstick and wipe it clean. Then, reinsert the dipstick and pull it out again to check the fluid level. If it is below the 'full' mark, you will need to add more fluid. It is important to use the correct type of transmission fluid as specified in your owner's manual. You can add more fluid through the dipstick tube using a funnel. Be careful not to overfill.
In addition to checking the transmission fluid level, it is also important to check the color and smell of the fluid. If it is dark and smells burnt, it may be time for a transmission fluid change. This should be done every 60,000-100,000 miles depending on your driving habits. It is also a good idea to have a professional mechanic check for any leaks or other issues with the transmission.
