Need a little help with part numbers as I need to order the parts so I can get this work done over the Christmas Break.
I want to change all of the Fluids in all three of the Z's over the Christmas Holiday's. Does anyone have the Part Manufacturer names and Part numbers for all of the fluids.
Oil, Antifreeze, Trans fluid, Rear Diff fluid and additive, Brake, power steering.
I dont know if I have a drain or not in my rear differentials so I am going to have to drill a 1/4" hole than tap and add a aluminum set screw.
I am going to use the Amsoil 10W40 like Mark reccomends.
I am trying to be a little proactive as I know I am going to be extremely busy for the next several years with work.

I can't see the "aluminum on aluminum" being a good decision for a drain plug. It's certainly not "common practice". I'm somewhat fond of metrics so I'd probably be inclined to use maybe M12 or M14 tapered pipe plugs. They could be had in either hex-socket head or a conventional hex head in "steel"! Pick a popular BMW/AUDI/MB - application maybe to assure easily serviced replacements - but I don't know why.
