Suspected cause
I know BMW has their own fluid, but I suspect all the fluids are the same, just rebranded for each manufacturer.
Leading evidence: 'fluids are the same, just rebranded' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion).

Do you know what some of the others are using for fluid?
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Does anyone know where I can buy tiptronic fluid by the liter?
Tried Sunset, they would break it out of the barrels into the amount I need but I dont live near them. I am appreciating them more and more, too bad I dont live near by!
My local dealership wont let me buy any seperately from the barrel.
I am not paying $500 for a fluid change.
500 bucks. Holy Crap
I don't have the tip but I had the dealer do my gear oil change being that I was there.
49 bucks for labor and $13.50 for 6 liters of gear oil.
BTW - I don't recall, why did you buy a Tip in the first place! The TRUTH now!
Please don't tell me that you got a Tip so your wife could drive it and then, 3 to 4 weeks later, she said she didn't like driving the car and didn't want to drive it any more.
The 996 trans is a 5hp19hla. Other uses for a 5hp19 is the BMW E39, E46 and Z4 6 cylinders along with the VW Passat and Audi A4, and A6. So, wouldn't equivalent tranny fluid be used in those models?
