Hi,
Sorry if this has been done. i searched but couldn't find it...
Can someone recommend me some oil & coolant please?
This is for a 2008 35sd Msport.
I checked on here: http://www.eurocarparts.com/engine-oils but checking to see if there are any recommendations from you guys.
I saw someone mention BMW Coolant too, I could see any on the BMW site - any thoughts?
Thanks!

Fluids...
Re: Fluids...
Oil is Castrol FST Edge 5w30 or 0w30. You will need 2 four litre packs. I think it's 6.5 litres you need, but someone will confirm.
Coolant I would buy from BMW themselves to ensure you get the correct inhibitors. They do ready mixed packs.
Brake fluid is DOT 4. You need to follow the bleed procedure very carefully or you might mess up the ABS system and then need a computer plugged in to cycle all of the valves. Either a vacuum system is used by the Dealer, or a pressure bleeder at no more than 20psi can be used.

Never anthropomorphise computers. They hate that.
