New engine fluids recommended
Replacing my engine and looking for fluid recommendations.
All fluids will be replaced. Any other engine replacement recommendations welcome also. Redneck said to do a meth injection. Looking into… Thanks, |

As for fluids, Use Liqui Moly 5w40 leichtlauf high tech. After the break-in period on the engine, add 1.5 cans ceratec to the oil. Change your oil every 5K. I am 171K miles on original engine tuned to M power levels and I beat this thing every day, oil changes and keeping the engine running cool (don't sit and idle for long periods, avoid stop and go traffic, take the long way on the highway) are how to get every mile possible out of it. Use BMW coolant and upgrade the thermostat now to the 90C version before the new engine is installed to make it easy. Add redline water wetter to the coolant. |

Redneck, I'm gonna scrap the Dinan tune and go with the JB4. Which tune do you recommend?
These plugs ngk 97506 plugs Is this the JB4? N63/N63R/N63TU JB4 Tuner its $600? As fare as index 12 injectors. Which ones? Hey I'm willing to pay you for your time on how to build this thing the right way. I'm not a fan of pissing $$ away. Vemo paypal. You sound like you know your Shit. This will not be a DD. Like I said in previous threads if I'm gonna do it I want to do it right. My engine is at my shop as of Wednesday. two weeks early.. |

On the fluids, I run the same oil as S.R. and have the low temp thermostat and oil cooler stat, at least according to the temps I see on the cluster. Coolant I use either the O.E. fluid or Rowe, whichever is available and has the better price at the time.
On the meth idea, I would actually toss in another positive for it, being that it is spraying down the intake valves, which should help with carbon buildup since the fuel isn't doing it on these engines. |
