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.

I guess I didn't stop to think: Am I being naive by not being more
trepidacious about introducing air into the fuel system by changing the
filters?
It's no big deal.
I assumed I'd have to use the hand primer pump to get fuel up to
the IP, or injectors (you can see my lack of understanding here

No, if it leaks you need to replace the pump. It's been a little while,

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.

3) Manual Transmission Fluid: The manual says to use "Engine oil SAE

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?

It's going to be the first time I'll change fluids and filters on the 240D
since finally taking possession of it.
1) How often do I change the fuel filters? I know - it depends. But the
