    RE: BMW E46 M3 tidy up project by Motor Confidence

    Some updates :
    Wiper blades fitted - Valeo ones ,same as BMW does :wink:
    Diff oil changed - Castrol one with Red Line Limited Slip Friction Modifier
    Gear box oil changed - Castrol one
    Oil constant pressure valve changed - BMW one
    Oil sump nut with washer replaced - BMW parts ,just got it out before alen key start to spin free inside
    Fuel filter will be fitted on tmrw - still had original one from factory :surprised: some shite got out of it

    here U go :wink:

    ABOUT RED LINE GEAR OIL FOR DIFFERENTIALS

    Fully-synthetic formulas created from polyol ester base stocks, offer excellent lubrication under extreme conditions
    High viscosity-index (VI) to provide relatively constant viscosity and film thickness with varying temperature change
    Ester base stocks and friction modifiers provide additional slipperiness to lower operating temperatures by reducing the sliding friction in hypoid gears
    Superior shear stability and reduced oxidation compared to other synthetics and conventional gear oils
    Exceed API GL-5 specifications
    Engineered to provide the highest degree of protection and improvement of differential efficiency for better mileage, longer drain intervals, and less wear




    MORE TECHNICAL INFORMATION

    Limited-slip or Positraction units use plates or clutches to provide the proper amount of lock-up to the differential. Slippery lubricants are required to prevent chatter, but too much slipperiness causes excess wheel spin, reducing traction.
    For perfect traction, use Red Line 75W90NS and add the Red Line Limited-Slip Differential Friction-Modifier / Break-In Additive until the chatter disappears.

    Satisfies performance requirements of GM 1052358, Ford M2C118-A, 19B546-MA, Chrysler 4318060 and most imports.

    Recommended Dosage:
    Use 4% for prevention of limited slip chatter in broken-in units (typical one 4 oz. bottle) or 4 to 8% for the break-in of new differentials.

    Red Line Limited-Slip Differential Friction-Modifier / Break-In Additive will significantly reduce the friction during break-in of differentials. High temperatures encountered in break-in
    can destroy the hardening of the gear teeth causing rapid wear of the softened gears. This additive can reduce the break-in temperatures by as much as 50°F, improving break-in conditions. Compatible with petroleum or synthetic gear oils. Red Line Gear Oils already contain this additive (except the NS).

    In non limited-slip racing differentials and quick change units using the Red Line ShockProof Gear Oils an additional 3 to 6% Red Line Limited-Slip Differential Friction-Modifier / Break-In Additive is recommended.
