oxalic acid flush and call it a day. I can eat off the coolant passages of my 7m now.

There are far better ways to improve cooling then to toss the coolant out. Good read with abit of understanding that coolant is not just for boil/freeze protection. Quote: Well, I see some things in this section I can expand on so I'll throw in my two cents. First, keep in mind that coolant...

you got to remeber the viscosity specs for oil back then do not transfer to the same weight of oils today.

^ the lifters are what are MDS specific. a rod?!? push rod perhaps but only one and why? mds= 5w-20 end of story

5w-30 for 130,000 miles on my 03 with a LONGGGGGG list of mods. Towing, tx heat, stupidity and just plain ole abuse. Never an issue. I tend to follow the guys that deisgned it over my own thinking that im smarter then them. (long term reliability thinking here) remeber chryslers finacial and...

For grins the 7mgte = 4.3 psi hot idle per tsrm ;).

Un freaking believable!?!!!

well 2,000,000 explains it! its lasted this long, another OEM should last just as long and IMHO is well worth the cost considering the reliability the stock one gave you

i think someone said this but... Higher octane reduces the ability to burn (in short) leaving more in the chamber then a lower octane.... When i pulled the heads on my 03 DR 1500 hemi the pistons were near spotless of build up at 75,000 miles. I ran only 87 while monitoring KR with a scan...

no, it should be different lengths and sizes on each end. There should be a reason that the splines are getting worn. Id fix that first.

i hate the fact that BMW says use their "special" coolant. the price is stupid expensive. Next time you flush it, run g-05 like mentioned and be happy the coolant cost HALF of the BMW brand. You can run any coolant you like assuming you flush the old out completely. How ever bmw blocks are...

anti freeze isnt what i would worry about going bad. its the additives that fight/ prevent corrosion. Think electrolysis and nothing to fight it off. Measure it on your car/ truck. It might surprise you!

The fluid i drained was just as dirty or clean as the jug of fluid i drained the previous time. Regular OCI and the responsibility of the owner to keep up with them (diffs, trans, brake, clutch, oil, coolant) are far superior then an additive. to the op, it sounds like a new set of gears or lsd...

i used it in my 03 dodge ram diff. Did absolutely nothing. Id expect a regular maintenance schedule of fluid change to keep things just as clean.

pull of the return cooler line from the tq covertor to the pan. Put said clear hose on the end and point it into a large bucket (understanding your about to pump oil/atf into it of course). Start the car/truck and put it into N if your trans doesnt pump atf in P. Let a few qts pump out and top...
