BMW X5 E70 Transfer Case and Rear Differential Oil Change

- Here, we work on changing the “lifetime" transfer case divider fluid and rear differential oil in my E70 that just turned 100K miles. I utilize a few very helpful tools, but I’m sure other alternatives are available too. I’ll address the front differential in a separate video in the future.
I must say you have some of the best instructional videos out there. Thank you.
For those with e70 diesels, both the fill and drain plug are on the forward side of the transfer case, at least that's how it is on my '12 X5d.
On my '12 E70 xDrive35i both fill and drain are in the rear (ATC 450 stamp on transfer case). The fill plug is in a very, very tight space and difficult to access.
My 11 35d drain bolt was on the back side (rear of car) and the fill was on the front side (front of car).
Superb How-To w/ valuable commentary details all along the way! Thanks a lot!
I hope this also applies to the diesel 35d e70 model.
Oh my GOD, thank you so much for this videos. My weekend project. I also have to replace my AC pulley bearing and thermostat.
Great video Where did you get that set of hex wrench connection? Thank you.
thanks so much . my e70 will soon be happy
Got the transfer case oil change done - but still cannot reset the gearbox service warning on my 2012 X5 E70. Anyone know how to do that?
Can we get a link to that set of hex wrench connections, please, and thank you
Nice video, I would like to know few stuffs, it is on the driver side after the transmission? Do you lift the x5 front behind? Or you work directly under lol, if lifted on one side, does the oil get drained more then what it should be when the vehicle is straight , thanks
I was talking about the transfer case sorry for the missing info on my previous post
You can do this with the X5 on level ground (directly) otherwise, use 4 jack stands but not necessary. If you lift one side to drain (only 2 stands) then be sure it is level before filling!!! The plug is above the cross member shown, technically in front of the transmission.
Anyone knows where do we get those hex adapters?
I have a 2011 x5 35i and I think the fill and drain plugs are on the same side because I don’t see any plugs on the front side. Is this correct?
Any video about front differential?
Where can I buy those hex wrench connectors????
Can't find those hex adapters anywhere, any hints?

Did you use the same fluid for both?
he used BMW OEM for TX case and different(I think 75W90 or something) for differential
It clearly shows what kind of fluid he used in the video you bot
Transfer oil , 700ml or 1l ?
Juan A. Rodriguez 700ml I believe. Bottle amount is 1L so you should have 300ml left over
Does the front and rear differential take the same fluid?
No, you have to check the OEM numbers.
Dose the trans and transfer case share oil?
Where did you get that nice fluid transfer pump?
www.amazon.com/TGR-Universal-Fluid-Transfer-Pump/dp/B071JWKP25
No they do not share the same fluid
Hello
I tried also searching in ista D (rheingold)
I dont lnow if you can write with in the ecu (probably ista P is requiered)
On my e53 i did the job myself but never resetted the code
Maybe inpa 5.0.6 is better for that sort of ecu reset
ISTA/D or ISTA + sufficient
Nice Video dude ;) but the torque on the transfer case is wrong. E70 X5 with M22 plugs gets 60NM and E53 X5 with the M18 plugs gets the 33NM
Hi, what model year is your car? Greetings from France🇫🇷🥖 Peter
2008
Thanks👍 Peter
Do you remember how much transfer case fluid you had left?
400mL
Do you have to reset on board Computer for this this job?
Did you use new O-rings for the plugs?
Do they use o-rings?
Where did you buy that set of hex wrench connectors? I can't find it.

Best,

Thanks. And what about front differential? I got noise from front differential.
I have a 06 X5 3.0 and I want to change the transfer case and differentials fluids but I don’t have that software. My question is do I really need to have the software to rest the transfer case or I just can change fluids without the software?
You must have ISTAD to reset
Ok thanks for your quick response I really appreciate it’s my first time doing this work so I’m not familiar with any software for this vehicle I just got the car from an older lady but I don’t know if she has the fluids changed so I want to do it b4 is too late.
ok, i just found it weird when i had about the same amount left. The bad part is howling noise is still there:(
Igor Avdeev Hey Igor, how did U sort out the howling noise eventually. I'm about to change my oil but worried the noise will remain
Muzi Makhudu the noise is still there, i just got used to it :) i might have an issue with the ac pump, howling noise is there only when ac is on.
@@igoravdeev5343 Howling noise is due to Freon oil level is low; it's like when you are drinking from a straw and reach the bottom, a gurgling noise occurs. Get a can of freon that has an applicator for about $30 and fill to proper level.
Tranfercase have not filter?
And does it have reset option?
where to get the software
GREAT VIDEO!
You are doing the reset the proper way. I think you may have old version Rheingold. New version tells you it is calibrating and you can even hear sounds coming from TC as it does that.
hey, can you please tell me a little about the reset? I know nothing about reset procedure or Rheingold?
how can i get the software for bmw
Look for Rheingold ISTA+ on ebay, usually comes with a cable
I bought on ebay from this seller drentbg2015 and was great. LATEST* 2018 BMW DIAGNOSTIC TOOL KIT ISTA + D 4.08.13 - P 3.62.3.001 K CAN INPA
please can you put in the line
that was at $49.99 now is different price.

is there a noise associated with worn fluid?
No noise that I'm aware of if it is at the proper level. However, easiest first attempt is to replace the fluid then move on to other potential culprits if noise persists.
Service Engine Soon Mechanic thank you, by chance are you familiar with a metallic knocking noise and comes from either the front or the rear only while accelerating?
Not sure on that one. Driveshaft bearing or loose mount (engine, tranny, exhaust). Will need to put on a lift and wiggle things
Along with driveshaft support bearing, check the guibo for deterioration
Thanks brother good info thanks

Thanks found it
You can reset it with Rheingold like here th-cam.com/video/MmxNZPHS2vA/w-d-xo.html
1:07 That's a Spanner mate NOT a Wrench! Also, you whistle a bit when you talk.
Hate to burst your confidence bubble but it is indeed a wrench...also you give off a “I’m full of shit” vibe when you post idiot comments.
@@robhughes8516 I agree it was a dumb pair of comments, but on the eastern side of the Atlantic, that's a spanner.
Can someone share a link to the reset🥶
with how many liters is the transfer filled?
