Z3 2002 3.0L, ATF is ok?

[Zaniei3]

Hi all, replacing the automatic transmission fluid on my Z3 3.0i, 2002 and bought following ATF from Pelican:
Automatic Transmission Fluid (Dexron VI, 5 Liter)

is this correct type to use for my car? there are lots of confusing information out there.

mine is a 2002 3.0 Auto (UK) and I’m just researching the same thing.
I keep getting shown options for oil rated at dexron III here.
I’m not sure this is correct either.
Sorry

Further research shows the auto transmission
- transmission fluid for GM 5L40E
Shows Dexron VI is the right ATF for the GM
I think you are good

@JonnyBravo Autodoc do a Febi kit with the filter, gaskets and the correct oil. Saves guesswork

Yes the Autodoc kit comes with Dex3 - Dex6 though is a more modern oil with a lower viscosity, higher performance and will last a lot longer but 3 will work fine.
