Yes the transmission is a sealed for life unit with no dipstick. The fluid for the 6 speed ZF transmission is very expensive and hard to find. Another issue I just recently found out. The entire pan must be changed as the filter is built into it! So the correct pan/filter is almost $150 aftermarket. The correct fluid is anywhere from $18 to $90 per liter depends on where you buy it.
I will be changing mine when the mileage gets around 50K or so. It is great the factory has this but like the 10K miles oil drain interval. Is it good for the car or good for the Manufacturer to sell more products in the future?
If you want to change it here is the best price I can find. Note that the fluid is correct but is NOT the Shell brand!
ATF Fluid-Good price $16/liter!!

Transmission filter and pan. Yes it’s the same as a BMW 645. They both use the same ZF 6HP26 Transmission. In fact this transmission is now used in many foreign and domestic cars/trucks. Good price $155!!
