Like most of you, my cars are ongoing projects, sometimes to stay even
(maintenance) and sometimes to get ahead (upgrade).
Car: 1986 5000cstq Sedan
Since last Friday:

New Bilsteins all around
New (used) Fuchs wheels (15x7)
New tires (Bridgestone Potenza RE950, 195/65 R15)
4 Wheel Alignment
New transmission oil (Amsoil 75w90 GL2-GL5, MT-1)
New brake pressure accumulator (bomb)
New hydraulic oil (Amsoil ISO 32)
New Engine oil (Amsoil 10w40 synthetic)
New oil filter (Mahle)

OK, so this is all easy stuff.  But, still, it is good to get some of
these things done.

Actually, since we are moving in a month, I figured I need to get a lot of
these little projects out of the way. I do not want to move a bunch of oil
and car parts on a truck when I can move them installed into the cars that
need them.

BTW, the transmission oil that came out looked like Redline but it was
much thinner than I expected compared to any 75w90 I have ever used. Maybe
it was MTL instead of MT90, but whatever it was seemed too thin.
