Which brand of oil did you put oem or another brand ?

Helmsman · 03-25-2022, 03:57 PM

Castrol Syntrax Limited Slip 75w-140.

BMW fluid is way too much money for what it is IMHO.

As Helmsman says, Castrol is great. I have also used Red Line 75w140 and Motul 75w140 in mine. Just make sure you get oil that has LSD friction modifiers in it.

I would expect you are correct. I did not look close at the post date. At least it was this year…

Summer is going well for the most part. Weather has been gorgeous here for the last month. I may need to invest in air-conditioning one of these days though…

Just getting over COVID so last week was less than excellent. Back to work today, so I will have less time to troll old forum posts

How is your summer treating you?

There you go. Covid finally catched me and my wifw (kids had it earlier. During vacation in Greece in June, so not optimal but what the heck, hopefully done with it for now.
Otherwise lovely Summer. Spent more time (working...) on the boat than the car but guess the way it should be this time of year. And Summer aint over just yet...

Cheers,
Nik
