I'm just putting together a list of fluids I need to order for the E30 for when she goes back on the road but not 100% what to go for.
LSD - Going for Castrol Syntrax Limited Slip 75W 140 (Formerly SAF-XJ 75w-140) from the thread in the for sale sections
E46 "Clubsport" Steering Rack - ATF / Dextron 3
Clutch - Same as brakes?
Brakes - is it worth getting 5.1 over a dot4? I remember reading 5.1 has a higher boiling point but absorbs more water?
Gertrag 240 box - Not sure what to use here, used to be a little notchy when cold. Wiki lists these, Redline MTL, Amsoil MTF or Fuchs Sintofluid, any favorites?
Coolant - Probably use what ever they have in the motor factors or do I need something specific?
