F generation Automatic Transmission Fluid

Hi, NAM

I'm looking to have my first ATF change at 95k miles (just a drain and fill-up; not a full flush of the case) and was looking for the appropriate tranny fluid for the automatic. Car in question is a 2015 F55S. The dealership stated that the part number is 83222355599. Now, I could buy the official MINI fluid which is approximately $40/ liter or I could go for the aftermarket Bilstein made fluid which is apparently also ATF6 spec and goes by the same part number: shorturl.at/uyKR0 at $10/liter.

Anybody have any advice? Would be nice to save some cash, but I am not doing a complete flush so the Bilstein will have to mix with the MINI fluid already in the case.

I use REDLINE D6. Since 20 years ago, REDLINE has always been my go-to transmission fluid to replace factory fluid.

Bilstein is good.
If you want Aisin oil:
See what they want for shipping.
