Re: Redline and Dinan Questions (archive)

Actually there are 3 different Redline Fluid's for our M5 transmissions depending on the markings on your trans. There is a green tag, red tag, or no tag at all. Also the plug is a clue as well, internal vs external hex. I did look this up awhile back and posted it on the egroup BMWM5 board. Search for Redline or just give them a call (Tim I believe is the owner) and they can help you select the right fluid.
Sorry cant give you any feedback on the cam gear. I had the Dinan chip in prior to putting D'Sylva chip in, Mark's chip for my car has a noticeable improvement over the Dinan.

Hi all,
What�s the current thinking on Redline MTL vice ATF in the M5 gearbox? Redline says that MTL is suitable for ATF applications but BMW says use ATF. My driving style is pretty conservative with the car rarely going over 80mph. I really just want to preserve the smooth shifting tranny that I currently enjoy.
With regard to Dinan. Is anyone using the Dinan cam gear and can you tell me your impressions of it what Chip (stock, Dinan, JimC, D'Sylva) you are using? I am interested, especially if it noticeably improves the midrange torque.
Thanks,
Bob
