This means it is no longer necessary to perform oil changes on these transmissions. All manual transmissions filled with the new lifetime oil are identified by a yellow label located near the transmission oil filler plug which reads ~Lifetime Oil MTF-LT-1". Vehicles Affected: Parts Information: Lifetime transmission oil (MTF-LT-1) is available under BMW part number 83 22 9 408 942 (5 liter container). MTF-LT-1 oil only needs to be replaced or topped off if repairs are performed on a transmission. A hand pump has been developed to aid in tilling a transmission with MTF-LT-1 oil and is available under BMW part number 90 88 6 002 080. Refer to service information bulletin 04 03 99 for further details Note: MTF-LT-1 must never be mixed with other oil grades since this would no longer guarantee the lifetime qualities of the oil. Warranty Information: Information only.
