Changed rear differential fluid(with Redline 75w90), changed Manuel tranny fluid (redline d4atf) and oil and filter (Mobile 1 0w40) yesterday. Very easy and only took about 2 hours to do everything.
Next weekend I will replace fuel filter, replace thermostat, replace water pump, replace temp sensor, replace expansion tank, replace filler cap, replace upper and lower hoses and replace control arm bushings. Can't wait.

Ah, maintenance. Fun stuff to catch up on. It always seems like the car is happier after some work though.

echo46,
I need to perform these same oil changes soon, would you mind sharing where you bought the necessary oils, and how much of each I need?
I know I need 7 quarts of motor oil, but I wasn't sure how much I need to buy of the Redline for the Diff and Trans.
Thanks.

Thanks DW.

Seven quarts of Mobile 1 0W40 from pep boys, 2 quarts of Redline D4ATF for the manual transmission (my car took 1.6 quarts) from a local store known as SK, 2 quarts of Redline 75W90 oil for rear differential (my car actually took a touch more than a quart) also from SK. However, as DW said you can find it online cheaper than I paid at ecstuning. Good luck, easy DIY.

Thanks for the replies guys.
In looking around online, I found this Oil Change Kit. Does either of you (or anyone reading) have experience with this kit?

I have no experience with that particular kit. However, and I don't want to kick off an oil discussion, I have always used Mobile 1 0W40 in all my BMWs and had pretty good results. There is a good oil thread on e46fanatics if you do a search.

Should be gtg. That's the proper BMW oil.Originally Posted by sum1orotha
The only cheaper way to do eeeeet..is to use CCA discount on the oil at stealer...and buy filters by the case. I can do my oil for $49 this way and no shipping....except one time every 10 filters.
