The dealers are saying it superseded to the 5970 RTV. This is the same RTV used to seal up the diff housing cover. I'm waiting on a better answer to this too because the RTV is thicker and doesn't seem it would travel thru the injection dowel. So then a small bead needs to be applied.

Has anyone tried sending out an email to Loctite or getting a hold of them on this matter?

Researching this some more, it seems like bimmerworld came up with this:

I don't have experience with this, but also seems like another type of RTV..?
