Anyone running the following products?
Differential - Red Line 75W-140 with Red Line limited slip friction modifier Manual Transmission - 50/50 of Red Line MTL and Red Line MT-90 Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I'm at about 60k and would like to change my differential and transmission fluids. The OEM product prices are ridiculous...perhaps these are just as good...potentially better at a lesser cost? Don't track my car...daily commuter with 50/50 street vs. highway. Thanks in advance for your $.02. db Last edited by dbacon; 09-07-2012 at 08:17 PM.. |

OEM fluid is made to last for around 45000 miles, so its thick and does not allow for quick shifts at high rpm. I have inquired with some shops who routinely do service to out of warranty BMWs, and they also said to use D4 ATF and to change it every 15000 miles, as the oil is not as thick BUT does allow the transmission to shift much better. Im personally about to change to D4 ATF, as redline is also the only aftermarket manufacturer of fluids whom (to my knowledge) has developed a replacement for the Castrol 10W-60 oil we currently need for our cars. I've been using redline and AMSOIL in my cars, previous to the M3 for the past 15 years without ever a problem.

Lubro Moly huh...had no idea. Well then, we now have two non-oem manufacturers that carry oil compatible with the M. Thanks for the info!

Good to know. I just figured it's the same interval as it is recommended by Redline and they don't say when to change it. Is the Redline 10w60 engine oil also recommended to change more often than OEM?

I understand I am bumping this, but do more people have experience with the Redline Diff Fluid? Specifically:
http://www.ecstuning.com/BMW-E92-M3-...ain/ES1303003/ ~$17.50 for a quart versus $48 for .5 litre |
