Transmission oil for e46

Hi

After reading all the threads regards to "lifetime" not "lifetime" for teh transmission oil, i drew the conclusion that it might be a good idea to change it at ~60Km mark.

I have called one of the garage and was quoted ~S$350 to flush the transmission oil, change the transmission oil filter ( never knwo that there is one ) plus the rear axle oil.

my ride is a e46 1.8 pre-facelift and current clocking ~62km

Any comments if this is a fair price ?

Cheers

Quote seems a bit high. I recall having my transmission oil and rear axle oil changed (including flushing) for around S$250.

Hi Adrian,

Yup. Filter is normally replaced when oil is changed. Did mine a bit late, at 88k. Serviced at Juzz 4 Cars.
