Hello, I'm working on changing the essential fluids in my newly aquired
69 2002. I would like to get the car on a maintenance schedule and
through a previous thread found what I need listed below:
motor oil = 20/50 , 15/50 all year , all temps
BMW oil filter # 059
-is the 20/50 grade good for hot weather?
trans = for your crunch- ATF oil, or , no crunch - SAE 75/80 Gear oil
(NOT HYPOID)
-Isn't ATF thinner than the 75/80 gear oil, does it really help with a
transmission crunch? If so I'll probably use ATF as the factory 4 cruches
when shifting into second.
Diff & Steering Gear box - SAE 90 HYPOID Gear Oil
flush the brake/clutch fluid EVERY year
Do you use speed bleader valves? What size? I think it is a 6mm...my
brakes are real spongy...
remove the lower radiator hose to drain and up under the exhaust
manifold - right in the middle of the block is a block coolent drain plug
(17mm wrench?) - change the coolent every 3-years
2-3 drops of your motor oil down into the center shaft of the
distributor - remove the cap, rotor, tiny felt pad in the shaft - drops -
work the mechanical advance and make sure it has spring return
tension. do this with eaxh oil change.
vacuum out the slot for the brake /clutch/gas pedal - did out all the
dirt accumulated down into the pedal pivior area under the carpet ,
spray oil lub into the shafts and wiggle the peddles as you do.
Get under the car and oil the gas peddle linkage coming out of the
pedal box. Lub the carb throttle linkage / and at the fire wall piviot
also.
Anything else you can think of I'd appreciate it, and the above thread
that I copied was helpful. I also put a couple extra questions I had in.
Thanks again
