Tranny fluid - Google is no help

[ncpsb]

Looking for info on names of tranny fluid for my mini. 2006 R50 automatic. Can someone please give me a name or 2 of some actual fluids that I can use?

Thanks!

We have the recommended Genuine and OEM fluid for your R50 CVT transmission here: 2006 Mini Cooper Base Hatchback - Automatic Transmission - Page 1

Pentosin, Febi , Fuchs and Genuine are the brands I'd stick with.

Also, for a performance fluid Red Line is a very popular fluid to use in the MINI community. Red Line has an application guide here: Red Line Synthetic Oil - Application Guide

Non-Slip CVT Automatic Transmission Fluid comes up for your make and is available here: Pelican Parts.com - Red Line Non-Slip CVT Automatic Transmission Fluid

Don't forget to change the filter when doing a fluid change: http://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/SuperCat/6325/MIN_6325_TRAUTO_pg1.htm#item3

Let me know if you have any questions.
