[edit] Lubrication
- Lubricant
- 80W Gear Oil
- single grade HD motor oil SAE 20/30/40 (owner's manual 01 47 9 780 737)
The Bentley BMW 5-series E34 Service manual declares the oil capacity of the 260/5 and 260/6 transmissions to be 1.25 litres. Manual transmissions installed on the E34 are normally filled with Dexron III Automatic Transmission Fluid (DX3 ATF), though alternative fluids may be used depending on shifting effort and gear noise.
Some 80W-140 oils promote themselves as a suitable alternative where DX3 ATF is specified by the manufacturer.
