Good Afternoon,
now that I've got me a nice and tidy series 3, I thought about changing the oil in the gearbox, diffs and engine. As I'm in Frankfurt now, and stuck here for a while, I've found these:
"DOT 4 LV" by Pentosin
"20W-50 Super Dynamic" by Pennasol
"SAE 90 GL-4" by Pentosin
Blue antifreeze by Pentosin
Anyone has experience with Pentosin? Are they any good?
I know I can't take Dot 5 brake fluid, and I know that the brake fluid in her is dot 4. Should I consider something else?
Is there difference between cheap and expensive motor oil, as long as it's 20W50 (Which is in the engine at the moment)?
About the gearbox oil: I've found that putting in GL5 is evil, and SAE90 means EP90 doesnt it?
The other option is to order it from Blighty, but the shipping would be bloody expensive with 1+10+10+6L...
Thanks in advance.

PS the shop I've been looking at is www.motor-oel-guenstig.de
