I need to start gathering up some things to change a few fluids on my 2011 35is. Was going to do the oil and transmission oil for now.
I planned on getting the Castrol Edge 0-W30 got the oil, but wasn’t sure where to get a filter.
And on the transmission, I found a “kit” online that contains all the fluid and the filters for the DCT…looks to be about 550 for everything.
Do you guys recommend a site that sells the filters or the transmission fluids and filters?

Autodoc or Opie are maybe your best choices for filters and oils…
I’d use the ZF DCT filter and oil kit..
For the engine a good ester based oil for the 35is especially if you tune it is the way to go…Mahle filters tend to be well recommended..

We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…

B21…thanks for the info. When you say ester based, you mean like a Mobil 1 or Amsoil?
