Hi everyone, new car

Why? may as well get new lug nuts while you are at it


WTF? fluids, a 0W40 or 5W40 HD oil is good for the M60, but do a thread search regarding the pump bolts before you start. M1 doesnt feel good, but lubro-moly and redline make the engine sound a lot nicer (all the moly!)

another WTF???coolant: the SAAB dealer sells the same coolant as BMW, but for about $7 less per gallon.

WTF????transmission, go with Redline for whatever is supposed to be in there

ever heard of synthetic? diff fluid, Redline or Lubro-Moly gear oil

sandpaper? wire wheel? another serious WTF? if you are doing the wheel hubs for sure, consider new rotors, since they probably have lots of rust where they meet the hub.

why new lug nuts? to match the shiny new hub of course! when i changed my lugnuts they were ugly rusty at the part where they meet the hub threads.

M60 engines tend to run hotter than most other engines, due to the 95C thermostat specd for them. 40wt oil is a better viscosity match for them than 30wt oils, and HD 40wt oil has 50wt film strength for added protection.

yes SAAB coolant is identical to BMW blue coolant. and here, the SAAB dealer says the "normal" price is the $12 i got it for, whereas the BMW dealer says the "normal" price is the $20 they sell it for.

why the other crap? they are recommendations from an E34 owner, not me telling him what to do. and he was asking about fluids, so thats why theres a lot of crap about fluids there heh.

why new rotors? if they arent badly rusted, he probably isnt gonna replace them. When i cleaned my rear hubs of rust, the new rotor fit flush, but not nearly as nice as the new front hub fit to the new rotor.

the suggestions i make will automatically assume that the person looking for them is generally looking for a "better than OEM" product in the same price range, or cheaper, however i will make suggestions for more expensive products that I believe are worth the expensve over OEM.

thanks, so is it normal practice (or recommended/required) to change both front bearings?

[BillionPa]

yes

having trouble locating oem front wheel bearings online. Any recommendations other than going to the stealership?
