Mine has the male 17 mm bolts but no label

If you have a female 17mm hex drain and fill bolt and you cant find any labels, then use 70w80 GL-4 (it is critical that you use GL-4 and not GL-5).

I thought green label = 75w90 while no label = 70w80

Damn! I' confused now!!

No sticker = 75w90 gear oil actually.

I found the LUCAS 80W90 for 9.80 a quart and the Redline MT90 (75w90) for 14.99
which one?

Just pick up some lucas 75w90 from an auto parts store. Thats what Ive always used and it works fine.

If it is a 75w90 i just used this for my diff and now i will use it for my manual transmission
Has anyone use Lubro Molly since this is the only thing i use on the bmw's.

No sticker = MTL not ATF

Just want to confirm.
A) transmission does not have a label on it - so I read it needs a ATF (mainly Redline ATF)
B) My realoem.com calls for ATF http://realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?...97&hg=23&fg=05
C) Will I go with REDLINE ATF or something different?
Thanks for your input
