That's good logic.

So just to clarify, for my M6, do i need to add a friction modifier? (if its not already in the oil)

Edit: i think i do since i have the LSD...but just wanted to make sure

Hell for eleven bucks, I am going to do it every winter just to keep themetal shavings down.

Changed it for the first time at 45k and talk about nasty.

Just changed mine today at 33,100 miles. Lots of stuff stuck to both magnetic plugs. Yuck.

Thanks for the guide!

What oil do it need for a LLT auto ?

911medic · 08-07-2013, 03:33 AM

I used Mobile 1 75W-90 synthetic in my LFX auto. I think they are the same.

Do i need any sort of addictive ?

No, the V6 autos aren't limited-slip. The stuff I used was labeled "LS" so it had some friction modifier in it. I asked the parts guy if that would be a problem, and they said it wouldn't. It is a problem if you put stuff with no additives in an LSD, though.

thanks for the thread..

Did this today for the first time after only 24000 miles on my car, and there was probably a half inch of shavings on the bottom screw. Is that normal?
