Mine has a build date of 2/97, but I wanted to order the fluid and have it before Friday, as I was planning on changing fluids this weekend. I won't have an opportunity to get underneath the car to verify the sticker before the weekend. I guess I can just do the crankcase and differential and save the transmission for another time...
Speaking of the differential- it's a brand new, small case LSD- is it better to use the BMW SAF-XJ +FM or is Redline oil w/FM ok? I know some diffs. are very particular about the type of friction modifier used.
I usually order Redline oil on Amazon- great price, no tax, and I have it on my door in two days.
