Rear Differential Fluid
Getting ready to do a rear differential fluid change on my 14 328d. Anyone know what oil is recommended for the rear end? Any oil you guys recommend?
Thanks! |

I put the Redline fluid... I can't remember if it was 75w-85 or 75w-90

Used a mityvac pump to pump out the old fluid. Refilled with one bottle of this https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/gea...ly-99991754600

75w-140 is too thick per BMW specs. May be ok?
But they call for 75w-85 or thereabouts.

BMW says it's lifetime.
But I think 60k miles is a good time to get it done.

60k is the interval Ive been following as well.
I used the Redline / new plug kit from FCP Euro. Last edited by sspade; 04-20-2021 at 05:45 AM.. |

FCP Euro has a good YouTube series for F30 maintenance. Changing the rear diff fluid is one of them, they recommend OEM fluid.
