Forum "blowhard know-it-alls" are a dime a dozen. I use whatever the mfg recommends.

I just said that in another post. You see that in those gear head
forums a lot. I just saw a thread where people in a BMW forum where
someone was asking where to source replacement vacuum hose because
they needed some and the BMW product was too expensive. To replace
even a modest amount of it, if you ordered it by the BMW part #,
it would be $75+. Even aftermarket sources, if you order it by the
BMW part numbers, it's probably still half that. Yet some gear head
chimes in that "if you can't afford to buy some vacuum hose at BMW,
you shouldn't own the car". You can get silicone hose of the right
diameter for less than $1 a foot.

That sucks g

And when it comes to fluids, some of these gear heads must think that
every manufacturer has their own refinery or chemical factory.

I want gen u ine stuff.
