Doing a MT and engine oil change and just had a couple of quick questions:
Just bought 2 quarts of Redline MTL 75w80 (as this seems to be the most highly recommended by e9 forum users). Re the gearbox plugs, do I need to buy new sealing rings? Or do the existing gearbox plugs just go back in and seal up fine?
Re changing the engine oil, was thinking to buy a Mann Filter insert (H1038). However they don't sell the sealing ring together with the filter. So do I need to replace the sealing ring each time I change the filter insert (E9 owners manual just says "reassemble with sealing ring in good condition" doesn't say replace each time?)
If I do need an oil filter sealing ring, what's the part number? Also part number for the oil pan seal? As I will try to get these from BMW parts locally.
Many thanks.
