Hey just to be absolutely safe, I'm going to ask this myself, what type of ATF goes into the PS system in our cars? I've been looking across multiple sites and some say dextron 3, some say Dextron/Mercron III and Some say dextron 6 replaced dex 3 so it can be used. Not sure which to go with now because there's the same number of results for all 3 of them

what oil do you guys recommend in this socal weather? i heard vr1 20w-50 is good.

I use Valvoline VR1 20w50 in all M20 engines!

Dextron 3 and Dextron/Mercron III, are the same. This is what you want to run.

Lol saw this qoute on ny facebook.. clever!




Are ignition switches compatible between both m20 and m42 cars? Does anybody have one? I accidentally broke mine removing the steering column surround. Which place can I pick up new parts same day/ Saturday's?

Oils are like beers, everyone has their favorite. The key is changing it at regular intervals. I am with Edwin on my favorite oil. Today we are changing rear subframe bushings in 4 cars. Should be fun...

Cheers,

thanks guys, I just wanted to get a ballpark on what everyone runs, I am only used to turbo subaru engines, it seems like those were more specific than these bmws tho.
