    I just had my trans fluid changed today with AMSOIL sever gear 75-90 along with AMSOIL Signature Series 100% Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil.

    This is the only stuff I have put in my car for the past 4 years and it runs great. I also had the valve cover off awhile ago and my RMW BVH & CAM still looks brand new.

    Great oil and fuel are are cheap insurance for very expensive performance parts. I change my oil every 3-4k no mater what and I also run Meth.

    AMSOIL - Severe Gear® Synthetic Extreme Pressure (EP) Gear Lube 75W-90 (SVG)

    :cornut: You've got me there, I don't know. BUT, if you can't find a GP then an R53 BRG is the next best choice,yes?(as we both have BRG JCW although mine is a mere lowly R56):lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::Thumbsup:

    I visited the electrons on line that will some day become our new Mini. They're in a computer in Old Blighty waiting to be turned from an electronic order into steel, plastic and rubber. Probably won't make it to our garage until early Feb. Looking forward to our first Mini.

    :cornut: Snow??????????????????????? Oh yeah now I remember. We had some of that about 5yrs ago. You've never really seen a demolition derby until you've seen Texans drive on snow and ice at 70mph. :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::Thumbsup:

    Did a rally with Carlisle MINI today ....great fun but the Blizzaks do slow you down in the corners.... :(
    I swapped to my winter wheels two weeks ago. A bit early.. I run LM-60's too. They are awesome in the snow....

    62.... That is not cold. :)

    I sold my spare set of 16s with snow tires today to a nice MINI5280 club member today, she needed more than me. Like new, Yokahama W-Drives on Keonig wheels.

    Guess I will make do with my Nitto Motivos, they are great in the wet, so should be good in the snow.

    I will report back in after the February Icicle Run. :)

    I was looking at a GP but they sold it before I could get it so I picked up a r53 instead
