Here is how to drain the manual gearbox on a BMW 318d E91. This car is equipped with the 2.0 diesel N47 engine and a GETRAG GS6-17BG or GS6-17DG gearbox.
You can do the oil change with the gearbox in place in the car or when it is out to change the clutch, I show you the two options.
The legend says that gearbox oil is for life but that's what BMW claims because for them for life it's the duration of the warranty / first or even second leasing then ideally you should throw the car away and buy one other. In practice, it is better to have the gearbox changed every 80,000 to 100,000 km to guarantee its lifespan.
This car, its engine and its gearbox have 409,000 km to date.
The oil used is BMW MTF-LT-3 with the reference: 83222339221 purchased from BMW for €27 per litre, you will need two cans.
