Hi guys, does anyone know (simon from opie maybe???) which oils i need to put in my '93 325i e36 coupe?

I need to know:
- transmission oil? [atf or mtf and which brand]
- differential oil?
- power sterring oil?

Its a 11/02 build and its manual with the vanos m50 engine.

Cheers,
Paul

PAS Oil is the red coloured dextron stuff, basicaly a good quality AFT fluid will do. According to the TIS system the box oil should be SAE 80 graded & NOT sythetic & the diff oil is a 75/90w type oil. Doesn't go into to too much detail, phone your local stealer & buy it from them Will be slightly dearer but least you'll know its the right stuff.
