FCPE have a 10% off on LiquiMoly fluids. I need some tranny fluid so checked it out. It’s still more expensive than Pentosin --FT Sent from iFōn ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change

[MBZ] Fluids from Advance Auto

I ordered some Mobil 1 synth 75W-90 and one of those pumps.  The 20% off did apply to the gear oil and the pump but not M1 trans fluid.  So 20% off the gear oil and pump and I had $5 speed perk. Makes it a pretty good deal.  I saw 25% somewhere the other day but it did not pop up again, but

Re: [MBZ] Fluids and Filters

Thanks. Actually, it was my old primer pump that leaked. That must be what had me thinking that when fuel leaks out, it's done priming. According to the indy, I now have a good primer pump that came with the new (used) engine. It is, as one would expect, the old white type with screw top. Brian

3) Manual Transmission Fluid: The manual says to use Engine oil SAE 10 W/20 W-20. So this is telling me to use either 10W20 or to use straight 20 weight? The way it's written is a bit unclear. Again here, just follow TFM? I ask because I've heard of using ATF in the manual tranny, and I've

Re: [MBZ] Fluids and Filters

No PS on Gump, so no fluids there. Use the MB stuff on the e300D Fuel filters I change when they get balky or black. In AZ, I would think that the temp change from day to night would have enough variance to cause some dew/condensation in the tank. I have found that 10-15k miles is standard

You would know better than me. I just drive through the state, never stay long enough to know climactic conditions. Around this neck of the nation, desert areas have about a 22*F temp drop, and may have some condensation over a long period. Never had the issue myself. On Thursday, May 11,
