New 1LE owner random questions:
Ok, I've been reading all over this forum and learning a lot of great things. Here's the last few things I have yet to figure out:
1. Is the rear diff fluid change absolutely necessary at or near the 1,500 mile break in? 2. Has anyone noticed that the DRL seem dimmer when you switch from auto to parking lights? I want to cruise with the DRL's near dusk but noticed it's not as bright as auto, or it could be in my head. 3. What's the final verdict on the roto fab intake? Is it mostly for sound or actual HP gains? Coming from a 2011 M3 and a 2012 C63, my 1LE wins 1st place on tracks and in the fun factor category! |

Re: The DRLs, they're dimmer in the parking light setting and when the headlights are on. They will also stay on with the turn signals in that mode. I run DRLs off during the day and switch to parking lights at dusk. Good to hear you are enjoying your 1LE. (Who isn't?)

1. Necessary, no but most do it to get the factory fill fluid out. I changed my oil and transmission fluid at 1700 miles. Diff is coming up next.
3. Roto-Fab, I say it produces power for sure. The nay-sayers will say 10rwhp gains are not worth it, but in this day and age finding extra power is not easy nor cheap on vehicles. |

From what I have read, if you plan on tracking it at all, GM does in fact recommend it...mine will be getting changed at 1500 regardless.

I didn't do the diff fluid change at 1500 but will be doing it before my first event next month.
