Sketchy AF. And they wonder why they get such bad raps. Doing all three fluids was so incredibly easy. The most complicated thing was unscrewing a plug. Doh! I didn't even have it on a lift.

Bingo --yes sireeebob one cold, one warm. The color difference threw me off a bit. One gray and one amber like regular oil. Appreciate the feedback. now maybe I'll go test drive it. 😍

@Star-Lord @Ulrich So I finally got to the Transmission fluid change today. Stupid easy. A wee concerning since I noticed the Ultra1Plus SAE 75W-90 Synthetic Gear Oil API GL-5 VS the BMW brand Hypoid Axle Oil G3 SAE70-80 GL-5 that came out --seems a thicker consistency. (forgive my...

So let me get this straight --You're whining about the whining? 🤣🤣🤣 Which.. .. I guess makes this whining about the whining about the whining. Sorry couldn't resist. LOLOL

Seems to me, "they already got our money" is the very reason they could care less about delivering a timely solution. I like my R18 but the lacking CS, the long wait for a reverse remedy and some interactions with a couple incredibly slimy, underhanded and down right dishonest dealerships and...

Burbank. Nice enough folks in the service dept. but a wee bit on the sketchy side. They overcharged me at one point $95 (1/2 hr work) to screw in 2 screws. I had to confront them and call them out on it to get it refunded. Then it was the $430 for 600 mile service when I said screw it I'll...

I'm doing all three I guess.... found very helpful videos here Oil Change: Transmission Fluid: Rear Drive: The only difference is for the Transmission I'll be using Ultra1Plus SAE 75W-90 Synthetic Gear Oil API GL-5 (1 Gal) ($35.00/gal) instead of the gouging priced BMW brand Hypoid...

Re: The Kern Stabi for a 2023 R18 Classic. https://www.motorradzubehoer-hornig.de/BMW-R-18/Zubehoer-Lackschutz/Montagestaender-Heck-Front.html I see a lot of options for other things + only 2 exhaust adapters. My questions are: Re: the 1st option: "Ranging Set (4x set of rolling)" I'm...

Then there's this that gives some reasoning. When to use 80w-90 GL5: If you live in a region with consistently high temperatures, a thicker 80w-90 oil may be necessary to maintain proper lubrication. 70w-80 GL5 is thinner and will provide smoother shifting, especially in colder temperatures.

Corrected with black loom and a little wiring harness tape. Thanks Gents!!

Ok, not to geek out.... But. On this video he shows Hypoid Axle Oil G3 SAE70-80 GL-5 But... On this thread a post states: "G3" sounds like a spec for a particular type of oil, but it is not. It just the name of one company's (BMW) gear oil. API GL-5, 70w-80 or 75w-90, LS or non-LS...

Learning how to do 600 mile service on 23 R18 Classic. Watching a vid the guys uses GL3. Does it have to be GL3? The only GL3 I can find is BMW OEM at a ridic. price of $57. :( GL5 way more affordable. See below

Feel my pain!... Im about to mask off everything around these fugly red wires and hit them with a, shot of black spray paint. Doesn't seem like it'd adhere to be the best solution.. but black electrical tape would eventually dry and lose stickyness too.Any suggestions?

So I see the vids and pdfs for 6000 mi. service. But Im at the 600. What specifically is done for the 600 miles thats supposedly far less than the 6k? I want to try and save at least some cash doing whatever I can with limited resources: tools/equip I have.

Because, since it's been the same profile picture since day ONE I don't know why you're bringing up the pic now? And in the middle of thread (vs DM) that has to do with R18 service. Thus I thought your comment was in relation "CA unfortunately" My bad. My misunderstanding for lack of clarity...

Bait much? Who just made it about politics? Project much? :ROFLMAO: Perhaps my "Unfortunately CA" had nothing to do with politics? Rather (and truthfully) --the "Unfortunate" I was referring to was relating to the DISTANCE from him. I love CA for the record. While most the country is freezing...

Yes! AND that they be service interval specific. 600 mi / 6000 mi etc. That'd be awesome for those of us with a preference to not pay dealer's padded and often gouging prices. These scammy people charge $190. an hour and more than once in the very short time I've dealt with them caught...

The idea of saving all that money is appealing... how about I pay to have you make a DIY video. :) 😁

Pretty darn kind of you sir. But Im in CA unfortunately.

Got my 600 check up scheduled. They quote 2 hours... $450. For a check up!!? Whats up with that?! Seems a bit pricey for a once over.
