Re: [T3] What oil is recommended?
<x-flowed>Sounds like its time to get another mechanic.
The container should tell you the spec anyway. Why not put in what BMW say to
put in?

Subject: [T3] What oil is recommended?
I have a Vw related type of question. I have a 83 bmw 528e. In the bentley book
it calls for SAE 80, GL-4 rated non-hypoid gear oil.
Now this totally threw me off and not sure what type I should get. The shop
put ATF in my manual transmission, but this was in the middle of winter. Now
its getting 100+F outside i dont think i want to run stuff this thin.
Any help on this oil question please let me know. Im not sure what a
Non-Hypoid or a hypoid oil means. or a GL-4 rated.
thanks guys.
sorry i dont get in here more often
