Going to change the diff fluid (75W90) and the tranny oil next weekend :-D


and my friend, and my friends friend and probably Tony too. Unless Tony is too busy doing nothing at home with Mochi

 

i need to change it already?
I'll be home chasing mochi around in my helmeth:

 

I'll also be doing brake fluid. which should be every other year.

but changing it = cheap insurance against diff failure


in your case we probably only need to change the tranny fluid.

Garys friend with the 323i is going to change it in his car!

 

ok..how long would all those fluid changing take?:lamo:

 

how do you plan to change the brake fluid. i want to do mine? do you have to pump all of it out the lines? or just in the tank?

bish please. you correcting me?

Fluids are pretty easy to change. On my car for tranny all you do was crack open a bolt to drain the fluid, put it back in, crack open another bolt on top and also the "level" bolt, and just pour it in until it comes out of that "level" bolt. Really easy.

Brakes are ok as long as you use a vacuum pump of some sort, **** doing the pressing down brakes method.

 

werd the longest part would be putting the car on jack stands

with the motive pressure bleeder it should be a snap. while the tranny is draining I can bleed the brakes at the same time

I went with the motive because I've read that pressure bleeding is better than the old pumping the brakes as well as the vacuum bleed for ABS equipped cars. It was cheap ($45bucks) so no complaints
