Purpose and Specifications

Authentic BMW MTF-LT-2 1L transmission oil delivers smooth gear shifts and reliable protection for manual transmissions in BMW vehicles. This fully synthetic 75W-80 gear oil excels in high-heat conditions, preventing wear on gears and synchronizers even during spirited driving or track use.

It maintains stable lubrication from -40°C cold starts to over 200°C operating temps, reducing notchiness in gearboxes and extending component life. Safe for yellow metal synchros like brass rings, it fights rust, corrosion, and oxidation for quieter, easier shifting.

When to Use / Replace?

Use this oil in BMW manual transmissions specifying MTF-LT-2, such as E9x M3 6-speed and similar models from 2000s-2010s. Replace every 50,000-65,000 km (30,000-40,000 miles) or every 2-3 years for daily drivers; more often for track cars due to heat stress.

Shelf life is 5 years unopened. Fresh fluid restores smooth operation if shifts feel stiff or noisy.
