You trans takes MTF94. The article mentions a GL-4 working. I do not know about the GL-5, as I use MTF-94, always. Give our parts specialists a call at 1-888-280-7799. They can help you find the right fluid.
MINI Specifies the use of MTF-94 oil in the Getrag 6-speed. There seems to be some confusion about this oil and what exactly it is. Based on my research it appears to be a Texaco product re-branded for BMW and MINI. Attempts to purchase the oil at the local dealer resulted in them offering to sell me a transmission oil replacement service. Based on my research I have found an equivalent for all MINI transmission. Redline MTL is a fully synthetic 75W/80W GL-4 oil designed for use in BMW manual transmissions. It has been the gold standard in BMW transmissions for years and is highly recommended to use in your MINI. At this time, Pelican Parts can supply you with either quart or gallon sizes - Nick |
