    I recommend Stabilus, too. I once tried Uro for trunk strut and thought it was going to rip my trunk off the hinges. The opening force was too violent. After 2 openings I removed them and chucked them into the trash, went strut less until the Stabilus arrived.

    It seems that GS6-37BZ - THEB was used from 3/2/2003 until 6/18/2003, while GS6-37BZ - THEG was used after 6/18/2003. Does anyone know what the differenced between the THEB and the THEG are?
    Looks like TJEP goes in N52 equipped E60s and E90s. Hmmm....

    GL-4 Red Line 75W90 is the preferred differential gear oil, over GL5, correct?

    Red Line D4 ATF
    Our most versatile ATF, use where Dexron III®, Dexron II®, Mercon® and Mercon V® fluids are recommended, for use in automatic, manual transmissions and power steering
    Popular applications: Toyota Type T-III and T-IV, Honda ATF-Z1, Nissan Matic D, J & K, Diamond SP-II, SP-III, Mazda ATF M-V, most BMW and Audi/VW automatic transmissions
    Also used with manual transmissions and transaxles like T-5, T-45, T-56 and late-model BMW, provides a GL-4 level of gear protection
    Excellent cold weather operation

    I've always used D4 ATF for the transmission as it seems to provide smoother cold weather shifts for me. It's very common for folks to use the ATF over the MTL.

    The diff used to get the 75W-90 before I changed to an LSD.

    It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.
