N55 - 192,000 Service
Good Morning!
I am preparing to get my car in for a major service as I am rolling up to 192,000kms. I have always followed Mike's preferred service schedule which is found on the forum. My questions are around which fluids specifically are people using for the following: Brake Fluid Manual Transmission Clutch Fluid Manual Transmission Gearbox Fluid Differential Oil Do I stick with OEM fluid or are there better options that I should use? Thanks, D

Did you have the carbon deposits issues in 120000 miles?
BTW, I'd rather have the dealer do the brake fluid change; they are so much more equipped and it is not expensive. |

Red Line Vs Oem
OK - so I boiled down the question to RL vs OEM.
IMO RL 75w-90 for diff is really good as well as other RL MT or ATF fluids. . . I think the OEM fluids are more lifetime or 100k fluids ~ meaning OEM fluids need to be changed around 50k while the RL fluids would need to be replaced every 30k. . . At least this is my schedule -- although I have used OEM MT fluid but RL in the DIFF. . RL 5W-30 oil with OCI of 5K in an N54 for me as well -- RL has been great. |
