BMW E36 Forum

Hello everyone, I'm looking to make an oil change for my 325i auto 1994 car. It does not have a dip stick so how on earth do you add oil and know how much is needed. Any help would be helpful.

Cheers phil

Check out the following website. Use a good recognizable brand of fully synthetic fluid (Maxlife, Mobil 1, I use Redline D4 ATF in all 3 of my 1995s. If you done know if fluid AND filter have been changed, do it based on the age of your vehicle. Don't get hung up on Dex III or "LifeTime (HaHa)".
The proper fully synthetic will do either, My e36 sedan is supposed to be Dex III and my e36 Vert is supposed to be "lifetime"..my 740i Lifetime...the synthetic fluid manufacturers site will tell you what you need. Do both pans, gaskets and filters. Should do every 70k to 100k miles depending on who you talk to...If I did get that mileage in 12-18 months, in this socal climate, I do it anyway.
