Could anyone tell me what the difference is likely to be between the 3 filters ( if the links happened ) , i guess BMW and others would also suit .

One says genuine , would you think it means genuine GM , LR , BMW and how would one know , would the filter be marked in some way ?

From $ 11 to almost $100 is quite a variation .

I`d probably have trouble using the $11 one but unless there`s a way of identifying what`s what who`s to know if the almost $100 one is an $11 in disguise .

Thanks

[chaybra]

Will be happy to see some answers here...i have long wondered the same

[disco gazza]

I'd be going for the $50 or $100 jobby. They both look the same.

Rhys is the bloke that services my transmission ( as well as others on aulro that uses his services).

He is the owner of Furious.

Ring him and ask which one is better or are they the same.

[Homestar]

Yeah, I'd call Rhys - he is the go to guy for everything on these transmissions. Can't recall what I paid last time but it wasn't the cheaper end of the scale.

[justinc]

Vz commodore v6 trans kit is the same. Just don't buy the cheapo ones.

The first link is the one to buy. It's from Rhys and he's the expert.

G`day , thanks for the replies .

It seems there are 3 filter types , from a GM doc .

BMW car 99 to 02 .

BMW X5 and RR .

BMW car, Caddy from 03 , it seems the Commodore may belong to this group .

Anyhow i found another link that explains it a bit more , hope it works .

You need to take into account that i found this on the internet so self checking would apply but it seems feasible .

I guess the next thing is to work out what D and E are for , relating to the RR one , and note the seal difference between commodore and RR and also the support difference .

G`day Gav , do you remember the type/brand of oil used in the last service ?


The Rhys site says Valvoline Maxlife ATF is what they sell for the RR .

They recommend Valvoline Dextron 6 or Maxilife ATF for the Commodore .

[Homestar]

Can't remember off the top of my head but it wasn't the Dextron 6, it was something specific to the RR transmission - it was expensive... - I'll see if I can find something in my portal that is my desk.

D is the input shroud , don`t know what E is .

From what i can find the original fit filter should have Filtrans on it , made by a German co , IBS Filtrans , the filtrans # is 806072 .

Bryco - 54800L

AOM - 5691

Alto - 156944

G`day Gav ,

other than muti vehicle synthetic ( which seems the latest type and may still be 6 ) , dextron 6 being full syn and back compatable , seem the recommended type for Holden and BMW the RR doesn`t get listed other than fill for life see a dealer , that i can find .

Actually i did find supercheap have Nulon listed for the L322 GM but nowhere else could i find anything .

Have you been able to find anything on the oil and do you think it is synthetic ?
