New to me 128i fluid change info needed
2010 128 6SP manual...102k
My power steering is leaking all over...So I ordered a new filter/container and will flush it with the green 11s. I saw that I needed an air filter and cabin one so I ordered all that on one order. So it got me thinking...trans and rear diff and coolant... Could you tell me what the capacity if for each and what is the best type to get? Now Brake fluid...I plan on tracking my car so I was told to get a higher temp fluid and better brake pads...So what is a good fluid? Thanks in advance! Garth I never seem to be able to search these forums right so sorry if its here and I cant find it. |

I like using Motul RBF600 for brake fluid on the track (and daily year round too). I haven't experienced any fade, but I do bleed the brakes before each event just to make sure the system is good to go.
As for brake pads, it's somewhat dependent on your track experience. Have you done track days or just starting out? Here's a thread on changing the diff and trans fluid. https://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=409293 Coolant change info, sounds like for just a drain and fill you'll need one gallon of BMW coolant and one gallon of distilled water, create 50/50 mix and refill. https://www.1addicts.com/forums/show....php?t=1370689

Do yourself a favor and download " Mike Miller's Lifetime Maintenance Schedule". It's the Bible for BMW maintenance and it's free. About 40 pages and covers pretty much everything you need for long term ownership. BMWCCA has his excellent tech. column in its "Roundel" magazine and members can get direct answers from him on tech. problems. Very well worth the membership fee.
