1200 serivce for 6mt— trans fluid change or not?
The service manual recommends transmission fluid to be changed for the M5 and M6 6mts at the 1200mi service. The E9x 6MTs also recommended tranny fluid change at the 1200mi service. Any idea why the F8x platform doesn’t include this? Anybody planning on doing it anyway even if its not covered?

hmm thats interesting. in the "Service and Warranty Information 2016 M2, M3, M4, M5, M6" booklet that comes with the car, on page 6 under "1200 Mile Running-In service" it specifically identifies the M5/M6 MT get the trans fluid changed but neglects to mention M2, M3, M4.

thanks for clarifying. hmm i'm tempted to change it @ 1200 break in and send it off for analysis. just thinking about it conceptually, wouldn't there be X amount of particulate matter from the initial break-in that nonetheless wouldn't accumulate to that same extent for a while thereafter..

What about the DCT tranny and what about the differential fluid?

Had my 1200 mile service done and no DCT fluid change. I asked and they said it's not part of the service. I pushed for a bit but no luck.

I know this subject has been beat to death in the past in all car forums, but Pilot, are you going to be doing transmission fluid changes throughout your ownership of your M2? I know that it has to be done before a certain mileage, otherwise its best not to touch the transmission fluid once you get into higher miles.

If you are keeping the car, do it. Gear oil is inexpensive, just drain and fill.

Just got my m2 yesterday, the dealership told me to have a service after the 2000km mark. They said that every M cars have to do this, they will probably activate the launch control system as well, and maybe an oil change.
