Hello,

I recently sent the email below to Royal Purple with no response. Anyone with any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Brad

Hello,

I'm in the process of converting all fluids in my 2003 BMW 325i to Royal Purple products. I've already been using your 5w 30 oil and love it along with purple ice. This weekend I plan to do the differential and eventually the auto trans. That brings me to my question. I had planned on buying some Royal purple ATF from you but the pan on my auto trans states to only use Texaco ETL 8072 B or BMW part number 83 22 0 024 359. Can I use your ATF or will that cause damage? The sticker is green on the bottom of the pan if you need that. I guess they used 4 different types of fluid in these transmissions.

Thank you for your help.
Brad

I would not use any Royal Purple or Amsoil product in any model BMW year 1999 and up.You can go with confidence using product below for fraction of price of original fill-field tested and BMW approved !:buttrock

Thanks! I'll take a look at the site. If Royal Purple emails me back, I'll post it here so we can all have the info.
