real oem lists the transmission fluid as part 83222167718, but the part number for the fluid on fcp is https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw...1l-83222163514. Wondering why are the part numbers different?

Not sure what that number is. From the 6L45 DIY, the fluid should be:



OE fluids below. You can use the GM one, Dexron VI is a GM standard, not a BMW one.

BTW, why is the part number for the fluid on the oil pan different than the actual part number which is 83222163514?

[mainbearing]

The number on the pan is the same fluid but 4 liters. $49.85 / 4 = $12.21/L

The liter bottle is $14.05.

Those if you have to have the BMW label on the bottle or jug. Otherwise many members pay about $26/gallon for the Maxlife stuff, including myself.

Use the Valvoline Maxlife fluid in the GM trans and also add a bottle of the Lubegard 60902 Automatic Transmission Fluid Protectant.
